Anita Abildgaard is the Founder and CEO of Iris AI, a company helping humans make sense of the world’s scientific knowledge. 

She’d always wanted to be a Founder and lead companies. In fact that was her specific goal after finishing her MBA. 

She achieved that, but her first venture ended in failure, as did the next.

She went through two bruising startup experiences in a row.

So what did she learn from it?

And what did she learn about walking away? That’s something we don’t talk about enough in startup circles.
