Scott Jones is an accomplished inventor and entrepreneur who has been involved in the creation of several important companies. Forming his first company, Boston Technology, he invented the voicemail system that is now used by nearly all telephone companies around the globe. In the mid-1990s, he created Escient, which later became Gracenote--one of the first companies to develop music recognition software that is now at the heart of several Internet music products. Scott diversified once more in 2005, founding IndyRobotics, LLC (now known as Precise Path Robotics) and creating Indiana's Robotic Vehicle (IRV), a self-driving vehicle. Mr. Jones more recently developed ChaCha, a search engine that leverages the power of human intelligence. He is also the founder of Gazelle TechVentures (see profile).
