Founder Dialogues featuring Mick Mountz of Kiva Systems
Posted by Chris CarrollHey, this is Chris from VisibleGains. While sponsoring the Founder Dialogues event by supplying the technology to make it available online, I had a great opportunity to meet Eric Paley of Founder Collective and Keith Cline of Venture Fizz at this quarters Founder Dialogues with special guest Mick Mountz from Kiva Systems.
Mick spoke about how he became an entrepreneur and started Kiva Systems, a company based in Woburn MA, (don’t drink the water, yes I’ve seen A Civil Action and yes I have family in Woburn) starting with an idea and growing an impressive portfolio landing contracts with Staples, Zappos, Diapers.com, Crate & Barrel and many more. Mick also had some great stories about his experience working at Kiva, Motorola, Webvan, and Apple.
Below are a couple of clips I found very interesting from the event, if you would like to catch the rest of the clips or watch the full event click here to head on over to the VentureFizz Blog.
