I’m a startup founder who thinks he’s finally discovered what he wants to be when he grows up… a startup founder.I started in commercial banking and got a solid grounding in business, finance and accounting. I moved into investment management and learned about investment, leadership and marketing. When working for myself I consulted to small businesses and learned how different they are to large companies. In the startup world I've learned about technology, presenting, negotiation and startup investment. As founder of my own startup I’ve developed my product management, design and UX skills. I’ve also seen how amazing it is to take an idea that existed only in your head and actually build it.Through all of that I’ve expanded my understanding of psychology and decision making, learning how important it is to all of those other areas: the key to investing is understanding what other investors are thinking; the key to leadership is understanding what motivates people; the key to presenting is understanding what you audience is thinking; the key to negotiation is understanding what the other party is trying to achieve; the key to UX is understanding what the user wants.To continue learning I read a lot. Take a look at my reading list here: http://www.goodreads.com/marcharrisonI’m also a mentor/adviser to several other startups, and enjoy meeting other founders and sharing war stories about startup life.
