By Alison van Diggelen, host of Fresh Dialogues
Celebrated Silicon Valley entrepreneur and venture capitalist Heidi Roizen invited me to her home to talk about her career and her new venture: Skinny Songs. A former executive at Mobius Venture Capital, Heidi has recently been featured on the Martha Stewart Show, Oprah & Friends Radio and The Early Show. We had an animated discussion about her motivations for this 180 degree career change and how she’s still keeping one foot in the tech world.
Heidi changed focus from software to song writing: what all-time-high became her impetus for change?
What inspired the lyrics for “Skinny Jeans” and “You Da Boss” and how did her Stanford degree help?
How does being politically INcorrect help her business?
How does she deal with the critics?
Why does she describe her product as “a sound track without the movie”?
What does she mean by her “portfolio career”?
What’s next for Heidi? News about her new book: “Can’t buy thin.”
