— Ethan Prater, Managing Director, Alchemist Accelerator Europe
I grew up on the East Coast. Went to school in the Mid-West and have worked in the Bay Area since 1998. I've worked in almost every role possible within a software company: R&D, Product Management / Marketing, Sales Engineering, Professional Services, Support, Finance, Facilities, and HR. That experience gives me perspective on what's needed at the beginning when starting a project or company, and to know what's lurking around the corner as the company (or project) grows. I love what I do because I get to constantly work with new ideas and very talented and enthusiastic people that share a vision. My interests include my Family (Priority 1), Running, Hiking, Fishing, Scuba/Snorkeling, Snowboarding and "Geeking Out" with photography and gadgets. I have 25+ years of experience in high-tech services, operations and marketing.
