The Founder Formula

Today’s guest is Mario Ciabarra, CEO and Founder of Quantum Metric. 

Mario tells his story about working nights and weekends to make his entrepreneurial dream a reality. He also gives advice on how to hone your pitch messaging for VCs, why the messaging for pitching CIOs is different, and the three most important attributes the core members of your team need to possess.

One of the leading indicators for technology that’s going to hit the market is whether or not it comes out of the major VC firms.  

It’s very rare that the proverbial unicorns come out of a vacuum or one angel investor.  

Typically the path runs through one of the top 50 VC firms in the world.  

On this podcast, host Mark Campbell, Chief Innovation Officer at Trace3, will be sharing the journey of some of the founders who have taken that path. 

He’ll talk to founders from all stages of the journey: those who are just starting, those who are just now hitting the market, and those who are hitting the inflection curve as their companies grow.

 “There’s a fantastic line from a Cat Stevens song: you may be still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not. You’ve got to keep the dream alive.”
