Interview with ThinkNow Co-Founder and Principal, Mario Carrasco
Tell us a little bit about your role and how you got here. (what inspired you to start a martech company) We didn’t set out to start a martech company but my career went full circle. I started out as a marketing director for a B2B publication focused on Latino entrepreneurs, Hispanic Business. There I learned about how important Latino, African-American, and Asian entrepreneurs in the U.S. are to our economy. After several years on the marketing side of things, I transferred to the market research side of marketing at a company, Garcia Research, where I became VP of Online Research after building what became the first nationally representative Hispanic online panel in the industry. This led to the company being acquired after two years of launching the panel and at that time my business partner and I decided to not go along with the acquisition and start ThinkNow.
