I wanted to learn more about how inception-stage AI founders can tap into developer ecosystems, so I spoke to Ozzy Johnson, Director of Solutions Engineering for NVIDIA Developer Programs.

In his role, he leads a global product team that accelerates its own work by interacting with outside developers who use the company’s technology. Johnson also works with NVIDIA’s Inception program, a virtual accelerator for AI and deep-learning startups.

“It's kind of necessary to know the shape of the world to have a sense of where things are headed,” he said.

“We ideally want to see around corners, we want to try to get there first, or at least, meet developers where they are.”

Here’s what we talked about:
