When I was 10 I opened my first brokerage account. My first trade was a Mexican holding company (MXE) that I read about in Worth magazine. I bought at 8, sold at 11, and was hooked. I didn't know much, but I liked trading stocks a lot and was lucky enough to start in 1997, get to cash in 2000 and 2007, and generally do ok. When I was in college, I interned as a sales person at a non tech startup, and loved it. I set my sights on starting a company one day, and took a few jobs after college that I thought would help me get there, most notably at Bessemer Venture Partners. In May 2014 I finished my MBA at HBS, and started my journey as an entrepreneur. Check out what I'm doing at www.lifeguides.me.
