Allen Gannett, founder and CEO of TrackMaven, a competitive intelligence tool for marketers, on the importance of trust between team members at a startup and how mindfulness makes you a better founder and manager.

As you step off the elevator and into the buzzing  TrackMaven offices near Dupont Circle, an illuminated marquee sign greets you with an unexpected, “Ruff.” Digital marketing and dogs don’t seem to have much in common, right? Turns out, there’s a lovable corgi pup that would beg to differ.

In this episode, we talk to DC-based tech entrepreneur Allen Gannett about his early punk-rock-infused business endeavors; overcoming bias as a sole founder; the art of raising funding pre-product; and how a corgi became the unlikely mascot of a company that's changing the way digital marketers think.
