Kyle Jackson (Talespin) on Using AI and AR/VR to Enable the Future of Education and Employment

Kyle Jackson is the co-founder and CEO of Talespin, a company making immersive learning a reality for the future of work.

Kyle is a serial entrepreneur who has worked at the intersection of technology and storytelling for over 20 years. After studying interactive multimedia design and then earning an BFA from the School of Cinema-Television at USC, Kyle has persistently been solving the hard problems around creating and distributing digital media at scale.

About 10 years ago, Kyle was digging into the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and the coming age of AR & VR, and thought something was missing.

Kyle believes mixed reality, in combination with AI, can enable us to have higher emotional intelligence and enhanced capabilities to communicate, learn and lead.

In this conversation, we get into Kyle’s entrepreneurial journey and some of the lessons he’s learned along the way. We dig into the origins of Talespin and how he transformed the company from being focused on servicing one-off projects into a product company that raised a $20M Series C round earlier this year. We also discuss the concept of “proof of skill” and the future of skill development for work.
