'Finding the balance between pursuing my goals while still being open-minded about the journey is really what’s made me successful.'
“Finding the balance between pursuing my goals while still being open-minded about the journey is really what’s made me successful. Without it, I would have never started Forerunner,” says Kirsten Green, the visionary investor behind some of the tech industry’s most successful startups.
Hitting pause on the traditional career ladder ascent was “incredibly uncomfortable,” and required a leap of faith and a sense of patience that was foreign to Green. “I had been a very structured person. Get out of college, get a job, work towards a promotion, work really hard towards another promotion. I had tried to play by the rules and do things right,” she says.
“During that time, I realized that there’s no one way to be successful. There isn’t necessarily a firm you need to work with or a certain number of years you need to doing something or a company you have to have started,” says Green. “Those years were formative in opening up my aperture of what a path should look like and being open-minded about it…I envisioned all along that I would use this to go and work somewhere else,” she recalls.
