Miri Berger // Revolutionary Tech for Human Needs


Listen Later

We're launching Miri Berger, the brilliant co-founder and CEO of Six Degrees, to the moon with three films that showcase her journey from hands-on creator to revolutionary tech entrepreneur.

Miri's company develops groundbreaking wearable technology that transforms any body movement into digital control, giving independence back to people who've lost fine motor skills. From her background as a master stonemason and industrial designer to leading clinical trials with the US VA, she's proven that innovation comes from understanding both materials and human needs.

Her first film choice, Bugs Bunny and Road Runner, represents the ingenuity and resilience that drives her work - she's always rooted for Wile E. Coyote's engineering prowess. The Sting reflects her appreciation for collaboration and the power of bringing together diverse talents for a common mission, much like her approach to building Six Degrees.

But it's The Princess Bride that reveals her storytelling heart. As someone who believes in the power of narrative to drive change, Miri understands that great technology needs great stories.

Armed with endless Valencia oranges from her grandmother's orchard and a massive dictionary (perfect for someone who loves working with words and hands), she's ready to contemplate new worlds.
