๐๏ธThe Blind Ambition Podcast with Jack Kelly
๐๏ธThe Blind Ambition Podcast with Jack Kelly Our super star special guest is Maximilian Tagher, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Mercury Rick Chen and i discuss how Max entered a highly competitive field without any on-target experience. Max had never worked at a bank, financial services company or even a financial-technology startup before building Mercury. Undeterred, Max drew upon 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 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. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/max-tagher-co-founder-and-chief-technology-officer-at/id1622549132?i=1000637663696 #tech
