Episode Guide
0.25 – Neural network-based navigation systems based on PhD research.
1:35 – Deciding on a stream at university while studying mechatronics and computer science.
2:12 – The big idea: a neural network-based alternative to the Kalman filter.
3:40 – Starting the company with co-founder Chris Shaw.
4:56 – Why they chose the co-CEO model. “You can cover double the territory” but it requires a deep level of trust.
5:51 – The first product, landing their breakthrough customer – Bombardier – about half a year after getting started, and what was behind getting acceptance by the market.
