Sabari Raja walked away from a “perfectly fine” business development job at Texas Instruments in 2012 to pursue her dream of starting her own company. A year later, her startup failed.

She reluctantly agreed, arriving 15 minutes late and drawing the attention of the speaker, who promptly asked her to take a seat at the front of the room with a group of industry professionals.
