It's extremely easy to get people to share what events they are going to because events are inherently social.

I'm a very connected and passionate founder. And I do model transparency and openness and loyalty in my actions.

If I were to think of myself as a role model, I would say that it's really important to realize when you are a role model and to be willing to give advice, share how you do things.

I encourage women who are starting families to think about the five-year horizon. The first few years of parenthood are really hard, but if you stick it out, it gets easier.

I truly believe there is this confidence gap, at least for me. You have to 'manipulate' yourself to get over it,and I do think it has something to do with being a female. If you live in fear or doubt and have that confidence gap, you are simply not going to achieve your full potential and what you know you can achieve.

The beauty of being co-founders with your spouse is that we run our business and family together.

Humans want to know the hierarchy; it's important for there to be one leader.

Working in MTV's development team, my days would consist of pitches and deciding which concepts we wanted to buy. We would then develop those into a pilot. Very few ended up making it to a full series, but if they did, I would manage the project alongside the show's creators.

If you have a cofounder, one of the benefits is you'll get from point A to point B two times faster.

One of the most brilliant parts of being a first-time founder is that you experience everything for the first time. It never gets old.

We focus on Eventbrite and our family. That's how we spend our time, full stop.

We wanted to harness the power of technology to make it possible for anyone to sell tickets to any type of event.
