In her twenties, Kim Perell was broke and jobless after being fired from a tech startup that had burned through its funding. With no savings to fall back on, she borrowed $10,000 from her 82-year-old grandmother to start an internet advertising company from her kitchen table. She scaled that business to $100 million in annual revenue, sold it for tens of millions, and has since invested in more than 150 startups.
