He Invented Teleportation: David Nussbaum | CEO of Proto
Description
David Nussbaum is an inventor of holoportation technology, a CEO and founder of a company called Proto. He built a solution that beams people from all over the world to phone-booth-size boxes as holograms. The teleportation (to certain extent) is no longer a science fiction and I tested it myself at SXSW in 2022 in Austin, Texas. This is by far one of the most prominent and breakthrough technologies in the field of next-gen communication and telepresence.
In this episode we discuss how David came to an idea of broadcasting people and made teleportation real, we talk about challenges of developing a physical product and building a team that could have worked in NASA, but chose Proto. We also envision when our avatars will be attending meetings and events instead of us and in a very practical manner make an overview of key lessons learnt while developing a sci-fi technology on the edge of digital and physical realms.
We also talk about the journey from being a podcast host and a salesperson to becoming a sci-fi inventor and how each step in the career counts towards building a successful product. I personally very much admire the part where David tells a very personal story about his pitch to an angel investor when everything went upside-down.
This episode also features a master-class on pitching an idea of a business around passion, future and wonder. And of course, we discuss how many months and millions it takes to build an innovation company and try to envision what’s coming next.
