Welcome to another episode of Ready For Launch. I’m your host Ian Black. Every episode, I talk to founders of early-stage companies about how they launched their business into the world.

This week I’m talking with Bobak Tavangar CEO at Brilliant Labs.

Among many things, we discuss:

What is a hackable AR device?
The disappointment of current AR devices
The power of open source as a business model
How Bobak gave up a career at Apple to build this business
Mistakes made trying to hire quickly
Validating their first product with customers
How close we are to the reality of Black Mirror
The power of building in public.

Sit back and enjoy the show!
