Sheilla Reflects on the Power of Technology and the Lehigh Silicon Valley Program

Picture

My Lehigh Silicon Valley experience was one of those moments that kept me awake in the middle of the night wondering what I can do that has not been done before.  Honestly, I was very challenged by the realization that technology is basically the engine of all new innovations. 
The Lehigh Silicon Valley Program is a week-long program in Silicon Valley, California.  It was a week that was sparked by Q&A from day one.  During the program, we interacted with investors, venture capitalists and start-ups and had the opportunity to work on live cases for the start-ups that we met.
My biggest take away from the Q&A sessions we had throughout the week is perfectly wrapped up in one quote from William Draper, the Co-Founder of Draper Richards LP.  He said: “Look For a Future not a Secure Past.”
I should also mention how humbled I was by the opportunity to introduce Jeff Smith, CO- Founder and Senior Advisor of Lunar, during our visit at Lunar. I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous, but it was a great experience! 🙂 (The photo is of me introducing Jeff)
