More on Aaron and Ventive…


Describe your organization:


Ventive is a renowned digital product agency specializing in high-fidelity software solutions, including SaaS, web, mobile, platform, eCommerce, UX/UI, AI & Machine Learning, and CRM products for clients ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies worldwide. We focus on really learning about our customer problem space so that we can provide the most value in the solutions we build. We act as a partner rather than just a vendor. Our 96% success rate of getting customer digital products to market over the last decade is a clear testament to our commitment to our clients.


What inspired you to work for your organization?


As a leader in technology for over 30 years, I have watched most technologists chase problems with solutions. I’m proud to work at an organization with such a strong focus on the customer, discovery, and validation of design.


What sets your business apart from others in your industry?


We are a premier digital product agency. We don’t just build applications. We take an idea or existing proof of concept and we get it to market and growth. We’re building valuable companies.


What challenges have you faced, and how did you overcome them?


Everyone is in sales. I wish I had realized this when I was 20. Most of my failures both as an entrepreneur and as an employee were directly related to thinking otherwise. Learning to communicate my value and how to close negotiations was a game changer.


What advice would you give to someone looking to start their own business?


There are a lot of empty talkers. Start your career building and delivering things — lots of things. This gives you the credibility you need to lead and speak effectively.

Introducing: Jeanne Allen, QA Engineer II, Destination Pet Describe the business/organization you work for: Destination Pet is a company that provides pet services like boarding, daycare, house sitting, and dog walking and grooming. I work on the Yourgi app, which is the online portal for booking appointments for your pets. What inspired you to start your own business, or why did you decide to work for this specific organization? I decided to work for Destination Pet because the team there is incredible, and I felt like I could make a difference and help the company grow. What sets this business apart from others in the industry? They really care about their customers and try to make every pet service something to remember. What challenges have you faced as a business owner or employee, and how did you overcome them? Working for a tech startup can be hard because the infrastructure isn't set up for development. I enjoy helping set up this infrastructure, so I'm working with the team to make their processes more efficient and enhance communication across teams. What advice would you give to someone looking to join your industry? Be curious and excited to learn. With QA, software development, and devops, there's so much to learn, and being curious is an essential part of the job.
