Brainstorm Tech Spotlight: Danae Ringelmann, Co-Founder And CCO Indiegogo

Proving that finance doesn't need gatekeepers.

FORTUNE -- Fortune's Brainstorm Tech Conference (July 22-24 in Aspen, Colo.) regularly brings together the best and brightest minds in tech innovation. Each week, Fortune turns the spotlight on a different conference attendee to offer his or her own personal insight into business, tech, and entrepreneurship. This week, we asked Indiegogo co-founder Danae Ringelmann to answer 10 questions about life outside of work, the company she admires most, and industry advice for young entrepreneurs. Her responses follow. 

What is the best advice you ever received?

The best advice I ever received came from my father who said, "The world has a way of saying 'no.' It has a ton of inertia and it doesn't like change, but it's your job as an entrepreneur to keep saying 'yes.'"
