Why I’m here: At the age of 21, I started my first company. I started this company largely because there was a problem in the music industry that needed to be addressed and partially because my friend dared me. After four years, I’ve seen a lot, learned a lot, lived a lot, celebrated a lot, hurt a lot, gained a lot, lost a lot — as most startup owners have, I’m sure. So why am I here? Why am I writing? Because, selfishly, I think telling my story will be somewhat cathartic. But also, if there’s the chance you might learn from my successes & my failures, I want to give you that opportunity.
So let me introduce myself: I’m Emma and I’m really excited to meet you.
