Ziwei Li is a fomer Lyft employee and the founder and CEO of Wei Good Food.
I had led the food delivery vertical within Lyft Delivery as strategic partnerships manager, and my role was eliminated when Lyft decided to shut down its delivery business.
But while I loved my role and the relationships I'd built, I'd also experienced the monotony of corporate life.
Getting laid off from Lyft was the instigator for starting my dream business — but tapping into my background and relationships is how I translated the opportunity into reality.
This could include conducting thorough research on requirements, building a network within your desired industry, or starting small-scale operations.
