>> So, my name is Mark Visco [assumed spelling], a recent PITT grad,
double degree in both marketing and psychology.
And, currently, I am in a start up, an entrepreneur here in Pittsburgh.
And, the company's called Mesh Net, and what we do is capture all
of the career development activity that students do in regards to their college career
and then give them a way to showcase that to relevant employers in a unique way.
So, we are currently in an accelerator here in Pittsburgh.
We are, the accelerator's called Thrill Mill.
We won their 2014 business belt and received our first initial investment through them
and then a years worth of office space.
So, that's kind of where I'm at right now.
It's hard to tell you one specific thing I do because, as the founder and CEO of the company
and we're just starting out, there are many roles to play.
So, sometimes it can go into product development
or product management actually designing the software platform
that students are going to use.
But then, having to see that angle, repeat that process for universities and employers.
So, there's three different angles that I have to take.
So, that's a pretty involved process for one person to do.
But, having to think through how each user will use it, so there's product development.
Or, some days, there'll be legal issues.
I have to sit down with lawyers and go through patents or IP or shareholders agreements
or we need to bring on someone else.
So, I need to go on a recruiting campaign and hire somebody.
Or, I need to, or I have to go sell to a customer, a university or an employer.
So, preparing sales decks, practicing these sells decks,
getting input from my advising team, my mentor.
So, during the day, throughout the day there's no one set, I guess, procedure I go through.
There's multiple different things I could do ever day depending
on how I scheduled it or how the day plans out.
