I always admire entrepreneurs who pick a problem and create a solution for that specific problem. It takes determination, endurance, and lots of passion to start an entrepreneurial endeavor this way. Caroline Ghosen is a great example of this.

Being the first in her family to go to college, she was challenged with what role millennials take in society. After graduating from Stanford with a BA in International Political Economy and Environmental Economics, she found another problem; how was she to adapt to the professional world. Working at McKinsey and Company, she refined her basic business tool kit. After two and a half years however, she saw a problem in the work force. Individuals, millennials, coming out of college into the professional world were having problems adjusting to the professional life.

“I’m coming into the big bad world from an environment that was a lot more insular, an academic environment where I could see my friends and my mentors and my professors, and all the people in my ecosystem frequently. They were supportive of me. There was about as fair an environment as you’re going to get. Going from that to an environment where they were working significant hours, not really sure how to transition their college level work into this new network that they know they need for their careers…. Hearing about that you need to cultivate a community of mentors. Everyone talks about that. “You need a mentor, advisers, x, y, z.” But the question becomes, “How are you supposed to do that?””

She answered this question by creating Levo, a networking website preparing and building young professionals for personal and professional success, focusing on Generation Y women. It has become the most popular network.

Ghosen had much experience in feeling lost in her career path, found a problem and solved it, helping millions of people who faced similar circumstances and showing a great passion for fellow entrepreneurs.
