I studied information systems and I am joining a major startup in the valley but also want to be involved in a small up-and-coming startup on the side from a non software development aspect.
what are your skills?
I can code at an intermediate level but am more entrepreneurial in the sense of building a concept (product management). I have a lot of data analysis experience from wall street internships. And the company I am joining I will be a sales engineer at. I would say networking/sales, idea generation, business dev, and data analysis are my strongest areas.
