I’m interested in going into entrepreneurship in the future and wanna gauge into this career trajectory and the more viable/reasonable sectors for founders with finance rather than technical backgrounds (CS, bioengineering, etc.) Would appreciate some names of successful startups by founders who used to work in high finance. E.g. Misfit Market by Abhi Ramesh from Apollo. Thx in advance for your inputs!

There are/were a lot of successful startups by ex banking founders
Within banking you have the likes of Silicon Valley Bank (ex Wells Fargo) or tide (ex Barclays)
If you watch Shark Tank, you will see that a pretty big amount of founders are ex wall street.
One of the bigger exits was Bantam Bagels, a couple that worked wall street jobs before founding the company.
