Stacey Brown-Philpot: 在我成功地将TaskRabbit出售给宜家之后，我意识到我想扩大我的影响力，超越我仅仅通过一家公司所能做到的。所以我创立了一个新的风险投资基金，专注于投资那些未被充分投资的企业家。能够帮助创始人思考如何应对挑战，这让我感到非常满足。为了思考下一步该做什么，我给自己放了假，承诺六个月内对所有事情说“不”，并进行了一次静修。在那段时间里，我花了六天时间来弄清楚我是谁，发现我比我想象的更爱自己，而且我对自己的想法感到非常满意。静修让我明白了我真正想要什么，以及我的祈祷引导我去做什么。我可以不满足别人的期望，但要满足自己对自己的期望。一旦我决定成立一家风险投资公司，那些希望我做其他事情的人，有些人投资了我的基金，他们非常兴奋并支持我。 Jeff Berman: Stacey Brown Philpot将分享来自风险投资等式两方面的宝贵经验。她从TaskRabbit的CEO转型为Cherry Rock Capital的创始人，将分享如何筹集资金、建立强大的董事会以及如何投资自己。
