Chris Buttenham is the founder and CEO of Obie, a company changing the way organizations access and manage their collective knowledge. Chris got into the startup space magically. No really, he performed magic professionally at a young age and gravitated towards digital marketing to promote himself. By the age of 15 Chris registered his first business, a digital agency that provided marketing and design services for other entertainers and small businesses.

Chris is a self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur, host of two podcasts (The Art of the Fail and Accelerating Support), and was the youngest founder accepted into ""Batch 20"" of the prestigious 500 Startups accelerator program in California.

A passion for entrepreneurship, technology and startups are what drives Chris forward on a daily basis.
