#209 — Innovator Avni Patel Thompson is the founder and CEO of Modern Village, a family tool-building company that creates offerings like Milo, “the world's first app built to tackle the invisible load of running and raising a family.” 

For Avni, running a startup is like conducting the science experiments she did to obtain her undergraduate degree in chemistry: it’s all about the margin of error. 

On Episode #209, Avni shares the familiar tale of how her career changed when she had children and why being a mom has inspired her — sometimes obsessively so — to build businesses to make parents’ lives easier. 

Tune in to this episode to hear Avni describe how she bounced back after closing Poppy in 2019, how she plans to continue helping families, and her thoughts on assembling her own village to assist with the mammoth task of raising kids.
