Episode Title: “Funding Future Founders feat. Foresight Co-Founder and CTO Charlotte Clark”
Charlotte Clark is the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Foresight, a company helping small businesses get educated and raise the capital they need to make their dreams a reality. The Interface Crew chats with Charlotte about her journey into technology, her experience at MIT and how she took the leap to quit her corporate job during the global pandemic and dive into entrepreneurship. She shares lessons she’s learned along the way about herself and what it takes to lead tech start up.
Highlights
“If I hadn’t been in that incubator, it would have taken me a really long time. I think I am a recovering perfectionist, so I probably would have attempted to make things really perfect. At this point, I’ve rebranded myself 3 or 4 times and I’ve changed my website multiple times…it’s just a part of the entrepreneur process…”
“[overcoming roadblocks] I think it’s really about figuring out how do I feel about what I’m doing, who I’m working with. …I’ve worked with clients and things did not go well and I have to reflect on…am I setting up the right boundaries for myself and how I work with clients.”
“I think [Chief Technology Officers and Chief Product Officers] need to be technically in one person because sometimes priorities have to just be, ‘Does it work? Are our customers satisfied?’ and then technology becomes second.”
