Launching a startup isn’t easy. It’s a financial and emotional roller-coaster ride that few are willing to endure, and more often than not, the entrepreneur is forced to balance on the fine line between failure and success.
Being able to withstand these types of challenges and competitive environment isn’t for everyone either. Some say that real entrepreneurs are born, while others claim that its something you can learn through trial and error. What is certain however is that there are specific traits that all entrepreneurs posses to effectively navigate their way to success.

In sales leadership roles with companies like Asera, Cast Iron, and CrossWorlds, Martyn was often frustrated by marketing’s inability to deliver content that met sales’ and customer needs.

‘I’m a builder. I love taking the pieces, raw assets and integrating them to make something bigger and better. The basis of everything I know about marketing, I learned in design 101. Good design principles are the same whether you are working with code or words or assets, to build software, a brand or a business.’
‘I was an engineer for ten years, starting in Apple’s pioneering collaboration products team where we shipped the first unified messaging and secure email system. I loved the customer focus and strong sense of design there – clean, elegant, consistent across all products. Then I caught the startup bug.’
