Brynne Thompson is an investor, advisor, and all-around brilliant and thoughtful person who helps startup founders and institutional investors figure out where the future is heading. Brynne is the founder of Respire Enterprises and a former partner of Coburn Ventures.
Brynne supports and invests in startups built for the next generation of stewardship, climate awareness, and multi-stakeholder management. With Coburn ventures, she led and advised investments in areas where technology may generate a dramatic shift in an industry.
In this conversation with P&G Alumni Bob Gilbreath on “The Workaround,” Brynne & Bob compare notes on navigating the information-overloaded moment we’re in and share some useful stories and hacks on how to thrive. In this candid discussion, we discover how we can take advantage of all the information available at our fingertips without falling for the non-wisdom of the crowd (and driving ourselves crazy in the process).
This conversation is from P&G Alum Bob Gilbreath’s podcast & newsletter “The Workaround.” Bob is a repeat startup founder with two exits. Bob’s stories and conversations—from a career in tech startups and corporate innovation—are here to make you think, smile, and discover a shortcut to success or a trap to avoid.
