“Jeanne is fearless and blessed with a sunny disposition, a good mind, and a warm heart. She is like a Swiss Army knife. She has done so many interesting things in her career and dealt with all kinds of crises and personalities. I am inspired by her ability to juggle lots of competing demands, to forecast and plan for contingencies, and to genuinely engage with people. We certainly benefited from her many talents at ProCon.org. She has the energy and fresh ideas of a 20-something with the wisdom, work ethic, and connections of a seasoned veteran. I'd hire her again in a flash.”

What are the best ways to reduce risks when starting a new venture?
<<This chat GPT-looking content doesn't take into account the fact that protecting IP can be wildly overrated. Do you want to spend your life in court defending a patent? Do you want to show your competitors your exact plans? How much do you want to spend securing and protecting your patent and is it worth it? These are the questions to ask yourself.

What are the best ways to reduce risks when starting a new venture?
As tempting as it may be, don't go into business with a friend unless that friend has complementary skills and is as passionate and committed as you are. I've seen it work on some occasions (I'm looking at you, Fetii) but I've also seen friendships ruined when co-founders couldn't resolve their differences. Your ability to build a strong team is the first test of your ability to build and run a successful company.
