Max Tagher, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Mercury: How to Enter a Field Without Prior Professional Experience
Manage episode 387925785 series 3345649
Max Tagher, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Mercury
Max had never worked at a bank, financial services company or even a financial-technology startup before starting Mercury. Instead, he drew from his firsthand experience as a customer of Silicon Valley Bank, the once-popular bank with many startups, and noticed others like him were also dissatisfied. Max explains how he entered the field without having prior professional experience.
We explore the challenges of co-founding a fintech startup and working with banking partners who often aren't used to operating the same way as a startup founder or technologist. He also outlines why startup founders shouldn't necessarily focus on the technology or engineering first and why a multi-disciplined and user-focused approach was key to Mercury's early success.
