Startup Mourns Its Fallen Founder, and Moves On
Description
"He'd Be So Pissed If We Shut Down"- How a Mission-Driven Startup Deals With Its Founder's Sudden Death
This episode of The Dejargonizer Podcast is dedicated to the memory of Adam Bismuth, the founder and CEO of SightBit, an AI-powered anti-drowning startup that's hoping to "bring Baywatch into the 21st Century".
Adam, who served as an advanced master sergeant in the reserves, died in battle inside the Gaza Strip on 22 January, 2024. He was 35 years old.
Founded in 2018 after Adam witnessed a drowning in 2019, SightBit uses computer vision on cameras installed at beaches and lakes to give lifeguards real-time drowning alerts.
The company's Chief Technology Officer Itamar Gur, and Chief Business Officer Maayan Padan are my guests on this special episode.
