After a short stint in corporate America, Michael Katz, CEO and Co-founder of mParticle, shares his entrepreneurial journey of creating multiple companies, successfully exiting, and creating valuable relationships. Michael took his first company, interclick, public in 2009 and sold to Yahoo in 2011 for $270M. After a successful exit, mParticle, the leading Customer Data Platform, was born. It's backed by some impressive investors, like Google Ventures and Nas, the rapper.

Michael and I discuss what it was like taking a company public, being acquired, the importance of becoming 'obsessed' with your craft, and understanding the market.
