??? Episode 354 of The VentureFizz #Podcast (recorded live at Startup Boston Week at Suffolk University) features Paul Morville, Co-Founder & CEO of Parrot AI.

Episode 354 of?The VentureFizz Podcast?features?Paul Morville, Co-Founder & CEO of Parrot AI. This episode was recorded live at?Startup Boston Week?at Suffolk University: https://lnkd.in/eF7XdhXZ Paul is a serial entrepreneur and as you’ll hear from our podcast, he is very successful but likes to fly under the radar. Case in point, while most companies can’t wait to broadcast a round of funding, I couldn’t find any press releases or media coverage about any outside investment for Parrot AI. Come to find out, the company raised capital in 2021 from Accomplice VC, Pillar VC, Legion Capital, and others. We discussed his reasoning as to why they decided against announcing funding which was very interesting. Parrot AI is not just a meeting recorder, transcription, and note-taking tool, it is an AI-powered collaborative workspace that turns conversation into results because of its understanding of the full context of a business. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * The 2 biggest lessons learned while building multiple companies. * Paul’s background story and his work on building Barron’s online property which was one of the first financial websites. * His professional journey as a Product Manager, including experience at Arbor Networks and how so many people have gone off to start other companies like Twilio. * The founding story of Confer which was one of the first endpoint security solutions in the cloud that was acquired by Carbon Black which later went public & was acquired by VMware.? * His decision to pass on an opportunity to join a VC firm and continue down the entrepreneurial path. * All the details about Parrot AI and how it differentiates itself from competitors. * What makes a great Product Manager. * And so much more. #productmanagement #podcast #entrepreneurship #startups #boston
