Businesswoman

My mom always instilled in me that it was braver to ask for help when you need it. That has absolutely stuck with me over the years but became even more important in practice once I became a mother. It may sound trite, but the concept of 'it takes a village' really could not be more true.

I think entrepreneurship is combining a passion with the tenacity to problem-solve and the fearlessness to fail.

I wasn't the kid with the lemonade stand.

Creating a strong company culture isn't just good business. It's the right thing to do, and it makes your company better for all stakeholders - employees, management, and customers.

For the first two years of Eventbrite, all the work was done by just the three founders: me, my husband, Kevin, and our chief technology officer, Renaud Visage.

Millennials are the experiences generation.

I'm a very connected and passionate founder. And I do model transparency and openness and loyalty in my actions.

I truly believe there is this confidence gap, at least for me. You have to 'manipulate' yourself to get over it,and I do think it has something to do with being a female. If you live in fear or doubt and have that confidence gap, you are simply not going to achieve your full potential and what you know you can achieve.

What we've found was that people were utilizing Eventbrite to turn their passions into revenue-generating ventures.

Leading Eventbrite has taught me a lot about how to connect with people to drive results.

If you want to build a sustainable culture, you have to have a strong philosophy and then let people do with it what they will and be OK with that.

I get extremely detail-oriented. In my most stressed-out days, I get way more focused on those details than anyone should be.

As founder of Eventbrite, I've interviewed almost every single person we've hired.

My goal is to create one of the greatest companies that's ever existed, and that has everything to do with the people, the culture, and what our core values are versus what we build or how we're perceived out in the market.

Humans want to know the hierarchy; it's important for there to be one leader.

As far as funding and building a team, you being romantically involved with your cofounder really shouldn't play a factor in how you run the company and how you create a team or find resources. It's all about the partnership.

It's incredibly important to be - once you do have a product - acutely observational about the trends.

We thought we could reinvent the way people came together for live events. We wanted to ticket everything from a five-person yoga class to a 10-person cookery class to a fashion event.

My worst day is away from the office, when I'm traveling and not with the Britelings.

Many tech companies experience steep growth curves that require them to build their teams at breakneck speeds.
