Listen Later

“When I was ten or twelve, I thought wouldn't it be great if I found myself participating in the birth of a technology at that right time when that technology is being born. Drone technology for me is this. It is extremely challenging but fascinating to participate in the birth of a new industry.”

While the delivery by drone of pizza to your high-rise window may still be far off, listen in while Andreas talks about the challenges that drone delivery is solving today. The episode covers how Matternet has been able to find its niche delivering time-critical medical products and how Matternet is thinking about expanding in the future. 

Andreas also shares advice for entrepreneurs especially in learning how to build and scale a hardware startup.
