If you can succeed at Samsung, you have one of the largest consumer technology platforms behind you and you're able to reach millions of consumers with your product and make a difference in their lives.

I've been able to demo my product for him twice this year. The first time was when my product was only a few months old. I did not have to go through 20 manager meetings or several months of due diligence to be able to get in front of the key decision maker of the company.

So that's why I joined Samsung. Obviously, it's great to have capital behind you. But Samsung, as one of the largest technology platforms in the world, can give me a significant advantage in terms of distribution, marketing, and brand recognition. It's much easier to make those cold calls when you can say you're calling from Samsung, even as an entrepreneur.
