As multi-time deep tech entrepreneur Geordie Rose puts it, being a deep tech founder means a "balancing act between science fiction and pragmatic." From founding the first quantum start-up D-Wave, to starting AI and robotics companies Kindred AI and later Sanctuary AI, Geordie is a technology trend-setter. After decades building moonshots, Geordie chats with us on the responsibility founders wield in their work, the 'readiness' of the market for pioneer users of deep tech, thoughts on Sanctuary AI and how he's spending his time post-Sanctuary AI (spoiler: it might involve a Canada-wide trek).
