| I'm a Web/Mobile Product Manager (did this in the Bay Area for 4 years) turned MBA student with a strong desire to start my own startup. To copy and paste from my linkedin:
I am an untraditional MBA student. I find it difficult to digest traditional/big corporate ways of thinking and because of that I spend most of my time outside of class helping Austin entrepreneurs refine and develop their businesses: as of Sept 2011, I am working at two different startups as well as trying to launch two businesses of my own and help another person launch theirs. Additionally, I advise 19 first year MBA students as they begin their entrepreneurial journey. With that said, I still make sure to do all my work as I do have a responsibility to my group members who may take getting an MBA more seriously than I do. In short - I hustle. I do work. Expected to graduate in May 2012 Focus: Technology, Entrepreneurship, Social Enterprise, Lean Startups
/copy and paste Because of my experience as a product manager I actually do have experience working with developers, so a lot of the advice I've been given here rings true - but starting a company with someone such as yourself is way different. I actually know one tech person whose philosophy is to just not work with business people as he thinks he can do everything himself - more power to him. Thus, my inquiry. It's funny you bring up marriage. I was debating with someone the other day who you have to trust more - your business partner/co-founder or your spouse. Either or, both can screw you. Haha. |
