So You Want to Start a Business with Ingrid Thompson

Jill has been launching and growing innovative cloud-based software products at startups and large companies for the past 16 years. Many lessons learned the hard way. She has seen a lot of the same mistakes made over and over and over again by super-smart product and technology leaders.

Why? It is impossible to know everything and it is easy to get caught up in what you do know. Jill authored Beyond Product to help entrepreneurs avoid common pitfalls and build their ideas into successful businesses.

Currently, she is the Chief Product Officer at Obo, working on agile product management software that addresses the high failure rates for new products. Jill has a wealth of experience in a number of startups in the speciality of product development.

Her career began in documentary film and educational multimedia, learning how to educate through stories and elicit others’ stories - critical to marketing and product success. She has brought these skills to the StartUp space.

Dr. Grace helps professionals to reinvent their careers through her coaching and her programs that are rooted in neuroscience. Her clients learn to discover their purpose, decide on a career direction, build their dream career, and grow their income.

An educator focused on excellence, Dr. Grace has said, "No matter what your educational or vocational background, behind every success there is a mountain of obstacles and an ocean of unfavorable odds. Everything looks like a failure halfway through. Progress often disguises itself as problems when in fact it is evidence of growth and improvement."

Dr Grace has spent 10 years helping professionals reinvent their careers, Dr. Grace has deep empathy for those from very humble beginnings. Her personal journey from being orphaned and then homeless at the age of 9 provided the backdrop for her to develop resilience and resourcefulness to survive. After a serendipitous meeting with an older couple who would later become her adoptive parents, Dr. Grace found that her story was resonating, especially how she leveraged education as her "ticket to freedom".
