Last night, I had the pleasure to attend the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards. It was a fantastic event, with great food and great energy in the room. I loved listening to the speeches from the winners in each of the different categories, because they all shared some common elements, namely that there was tremendous struggle before success was finally achieved. Matthew Corrin, the dynamic founder of Freshii, talked about almost missing payroll twice in his first six months of operations, but rallied to open another store and then another and another. Where would I get my healthy salads if Matthew had listened to naysayers and given up? John Poulus, founder of Dominion Voting Systems, spoke about how VCs told him he was crazy for the risks he was taking, but all he could think was how crazy it would be to not pursue his dream. And now his amazing voting system is used all over the world, promoting democracy, transparency and apparently making a significant profit. We at Ubequity have a huge amount of respect for entrepreneurs, for those who see what others cannot or will not. We salute all the nominees and winners of the E&Y awards, and thank them for their amazing contributions.
