Jenny Lefcourt is general partner at Freestyle Capital, a venture capital firm that specializes in seed and early-stage investments. She knows what it takes to be an entrepreneur because she’s been there. Lefcourt co-founded two companies — WeddingChannel.com and Bella Pictures — after dropping out of Stanford Business School.

Leftcourt spoke to Knowledge@Wharton to offer specific and tested advice for budding entrepreneurs. The following are five takeaways from the conversation.
