In this episode, we sit down with Peter Fishman, a data scientist whose journey took him from prestigious roles at Microsoft and Walt Disney to launching his own startup.
Peter is the founder behind Mozart Data, a startup that simplifies the data consolidation and analysis process, making it accessible to a wider audience.
Having navigated Mozart Data through Y Combinator, Peter and his team have since propelled the company to secure over $19M in funding.
This conversation dives into Peter’s experiences, from the inception of Mozart Data, through the rigorous journey of Y Combinator, to the ongoing challenge of building a successful startup.
In this episode, we explore:
- Peter’s transition from data scientist at global giants to founding Mozart Data, and the inspiration behind this innovative venture.
- The pivotal role of Y Combinator in Mozart Data’s growth trajectory, including the lessons learned and opportunities unlocked through the accelerator.
- The philosophy of working tirelessly for customers and future customers, often without immediate financial reward, and how this customer-centric approach has been a cornerstone of Peter’s success.
- Insightful anecdotes (you’ll really like this one) and advice from Peter’s journey, shedding light on the complexities of startup life and the relentless pursuit of solving real-world problems.
Peter’s story is not just about building a startup; it’s about crafting a vision where data becomes a harmonious tool for businesses of all sizes.
Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur, business leader or startup enthusiast, this episode offers a unique blend of technical wisdom, entrepreneurial spirit, and practical insights into bringing a startup to life.
