What made you an entrepreneur: nature or nurture? Can you really ‘catch’ the entrepreneurial bug?

For me, entrepreneurship was not a conscious decision. I was raised by immigrant parents who highly valued hard work and independence. My father always told me, “Don’t be a doctor or lawyer; work for yourself. Be an entrepreneur.” He ran an analytical chemistry laboratories from the time I was 2 years old, so it was little surprise when I launched my own lab shortly after graduating college. That path led me from technology startups to launching LabDoor, and it has been an amazing journey.
