Insights from Radhika Gupta: The slow path to success

In an interview with Think School, Radhika Gupta shared why being an entrepreneur or angel investor is the slowest way to make money. She said, “That’s the lonely part of being an entrepreneur; you can choose to do a stable job and have a comfortable lifestyle. Then here, you’re slumming it out trying to get a document notarized, managing a pantry, hiring people who don’t want to join a startup. That comparison is tough.”

She added, “At FrontRow Capital, I would periodically ask myself why I am doing this. I could just be a banker and make a lot of money, and that is character—the ability to survive for years because you don’t make money quickly as an entrepreneur or as an angel investor. For that, you should do something else.”
