She talks about pushing through early rejections, why so many people doubted the market, and what finally flipped the fundraising momentum in her favor. It&amp;#39;s a real look at what it takes to hold conviction when no one else sees it—and why that belief can be the difference between hundreds of no’s and a lead investor who finally says yes.&lt;/p&gt;
