Starting a business is not for everyone.

"Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart," says Kirsten Green. "It takes guts, determination and confidence to believe in your unique ideas and a tremendous amount of self-awareness."

As the founder of San Francisco-based VC firmForerunner Ventures这些雄心勃勃的,她不断地包围entrepreneurs -- people she is looking to help scale their business. Not only does Green's firm provide funding to propel startups to the next level but also other resources like guidance and key introductions -- something she finds extremely gratifying.

"One of the most satisfying rewards of moving through a career is gaining the experience and wisdom to hopefully make continually better decisions," says Green. "Sharing this with people you respect and playing a mentor role is not only a chance to give back, but I've found it to be personally very satisfying."
