**More On Marc**
Marc’s career as an entrepreneur spans four decades. He’s founded or co-founded six other successful startups, mentored hundreds of early-stage entrepreneurs, and as an investor, has helped seed dozens of successful tech ventures (and just as many unsuccessful ones). Most recently, he co-founded analytics software company Looker Data Sciences, where he now serves as director.
Outside of the tech and startup world, Marc sits on the boards of Chubbies Shorts, Augment Technologies, the environmental advocacy group 1% For The Planet, and the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), which he’s been involved with for most of his life.
A resident of Santa Cruz, California, Marc travels and speaks all over the world, and still probably manages to go surfing more than you do.

Many of us love to power our morning with a good cup of coffee. However, we sometimes feel guilty because we know we will have to pay for that cup or let's be honest and that second cup on the treadmill later, especially when we add creamer. And that's where Leaner Cremer comes in, the gluten-free, sugar-free, lactose-free, but also the guilt-free option for your coffee. It uses a combination of coconut oil and natural supplements to jumpstart your entrepreneurial journey for the day. Not a coffee drinker, no problem. Use it as a sugar substitute in your tea, oatmeal, or whatever else you like to sweeten. Go to the website and use the Promo “Startup15” at checkout. If you are listening to the podcast, the link is there in the show notes. Leaner Creamer, begin a healthy new chapter.
