Matt Miesnieks is a serial entrepreneur, turned investor, turned entrepreneur. After more than a decade of engineering and business roles, Matt has spent the last decade focused on Augmented Reality. Matt was head of customer development at Layar, an early consumer AR company. He founded Dekko, the first mobile mixed reality platform for iOS. Matt worked at Samsung as a director of product development in AR & VR. And he was a founding partner at Super Ventures, an early stage investor in AR & VR.

Currently Matt is the founder and CEO af 6D.ai, a company focused on creating tools - software APIs - to help developers make useful and exciting AR experiences.

This is the first of two parts of my conversation with Matt. Across both parts of the conversation, Matt and I talk about many of the lessons he’s learned, including lessons about AR technology and use cases, as well as about being a better entrepreneur.

In this first part, we explore the importance of establishing and communicating company values in a startup. We explore the lessons learned when Matt was at Dekko, and we dig into the problems he’s tackling at his current startup.

Matt shares a ton of hard earned wisdom. I think you’ll love this one.
