With all the stress of entrepreneurship, founders often forget something critical. Innovation can be fun. Adam H. is excited by his company Cloudbeds, the leading company in hotel management digitization. He gets a thrill when he sees his company facilitating digital check-ins, payment and reservation experiences. Hospitality is a trillion-dollar industry that's flagging when it comes to digital innovation - and where some might simply see a void, Adam sees an exciting opportunity to create. Cloudbeds has raised over $253 million and is available in hotels all over the world, bringing joy to guests who want a seamless stay. Can fun contribute to success?

Mastering an industry takes time, but it pays dividends. Through its laser focus on two high-growth sectors - healthcare and fintech - investment firm Oak HC/FT has proven that expertise is a crucial pathway to success. Since its founding in 2014, Oak HC/FT has invested in over 85 companies globally, 35 of which have surpassed a $1 billion valuation. The firm currently has $5.3 billion in assets under management. Co-founder and managing partner Andrew Adams credits, in part, the firm's dedication to the two massive sectors (they're even featured in the company name). This adherence provides the firm with a consistent rotation of entrepreneurs and relationships. It has also enabled Oak HC/FT to develop extremely deep knowledge of these industries that a multidomain firm may not have. Andrew is confident that Oak HC/FT's experience, coupled with its collaborative culture, can make lasting changes and usher businesses from growth to exit - as it has done many times over.

Even in the fast-paced world of AI, it pays to take your time. For the global AI company Fractal Analytics, hiring is a high-priority artform. For every 2,000 hires, they look at 400,000 resumes, according to co-founder Srikanth Velamakanni. Fractal institutes tests and an elaborate interview and vetting system. It's an extremely selective process largely based in talent-rich India. It might look like overkill - but few companies have achieved Fractal's longevity and track record. The company was founded in 2000 - long before AI was a hot button issue - and recently became a unicorn, helping Fortune 500 companies compete with state-of-the-art analytics. Srikanth describes the company's journey from bootstrapper to leader in the field - citing hiring as a critical focus.

What is an entrepreneur's most important survival skill? For Don Muir, co-founder and CEO of Arc Technologies, resilience in the face of rejection was critical in building his company from dream to leader in scaled SaaS cash management and capital markets. Most people face rejection in their careers, but Don argued that entrepreneurs drink it from a firehose - from credit funds to VC capital to customers who opt for competitors. But because Don continued to fight for his full-stack tech banking idea - ultimately launching it in 2021 with co-founder Nick Lombardo - Arc Technologies now has over 1,000 companies in its portfolio and $300 million in capital available. What would you accomplish if you weren't afraid of rejection?
