Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Elliott Garlock, Founder of Stella Talent, located in Boston, MA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We are a boutique talent advisory and executive search firm focused on the VC ecosystem with an investment arm.

Tell us about yourself

We were both CEOs of tech companies earlier in our lives. The organization building was the most fun part, and so now we get to do it across multiple clients simultaneously while also investing capital into our clients.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Helping great CEOs build great businesses is very satisfying.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

It's a lot of responsibility. As Harry Truman said, "the buck stops with me."

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Do it in a field you are animated by.
  2. Put your customers first.
  3. Never settle for "good enough."
