ERIN BURY
STARTUP ADDICT
Who am I?
A disclaimer:
In the beginning…
My name is Erin, & I believe in nepotism.
So what’s so great about a startup?
1. It’s more flexible
2. You have more responsibility & creative license
3. Every day is
different
4. You learn much, more more
5. You’re invested in the company’s success – and it tastes so much sweeter
6. You build an amazing network
7. You work with kick-ass
people
8. Your job is cool
* Now the bad news
• Long hours
• Hectic schedule
• Not a typical budget
• With great power comes great responsibility…
One final thought…
You can find me…
