Coffee hour with a local entrepreneur
From grad student to COO
Katie Thompson, PhD
COO, Elemental Enzymes
Where: Hearth Room, FLTC, Medical Campus
RSVP as coffee and pastries will be provided.
I am an entrepreneur, scientist, and Co-founder of Elemental Enzymes, a company that specializes in the development of biotech solutions for the agricultural, animal health, and environmental industries. I received my Ph.D. in Developmental, Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University of Missouri and have gone “all-in” on the start-up dream. I have helped lead EE through business planning and fundraising stages. I have a passion for building our company environment with the start-up mentality of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” an idea that has also allowed EE to forgo Venture Capital funding. I currently oversee many R&D projects, pre-commercial products, and help keep the vision of growth and financial success alive at Elemental Enzymes.
