Marcus
Gosling
PRODUCT
Marcus sees software as ‘21st-century alchemy.' He led product at IDEO, IMVU, Rypple, and LTSE.
Marcus specializes in designing and bringing new software products to life. For him, the thrill of building early-stage companies comes from working in the trenches alongside great engineers and business people, solving new and interesting problems and opportunities, and working closely with customers and end-users.
Portfolio companies
Previous experience
IDEO
Marcus helped Fortune 100 companies including Microsoft, Intel, Kodak, AT&T and Reuters expand their offerings through user-centered design and experience prototyping.
IMVU
Marcus co-founded and led user-experience at social metaverse startup IMVU, today a top-5 grossing social app with over $100M in annual revenue from virtual goods sales.
Rypple
As VP of Design at Rypple (acquired by Salesforce and rebranded to Work.com), Marcus helped pioneer a new approach to employee goal-setting, feedback, and recognition inspired by modern social software.
LTSE
As co-founder and founding head of product, Marcus launched five private company software products, including LTSE Equity and a suite of capital markets infrastructure tools serving long-term public companies and investors.
Highlights
Magnifying human creativity
Marcus prefers to get in at the ground floor stage of a company where he can turn ideas into software. He thrives when he’s shipping the first version of its product, especially if it's in a new product category altogether.
Mastering new domains
Marcus enjoys meeting founders where they are in order to understand what the idea they want to bring into the world. His best work comes from putting things out into the world that didn’t exist before, or being able to tap into a founder’s creative energy and multiply it by building products.
