A few years back I was invited onto a podcast to discuss Mesmerix, a computer vision and AR startup where I lead the software division.

In the episode we cover:

• How Mesmerix began as a scrappy PhD project and grew into a real company.
• The late nights, passion, and far too much caffeine that took us from a prototype to a product.
• The struggles and wins of convincing companies that build modular nuclear reactors, or the Japanese rail networks that a group of young academics new to industry, can solve R&D problems that their internal teams could not.

If you’re curious about what it feels like to be in the thick of an early-stage deep tech startup, I think you’ll enjoy this one. I don’t go into the details of the physical toll it ended up taking because I hadn’t experienced it yet, but that’s another story.
