The Physical Layer: Fireside with Freesia from On Zero
The Physical Layer is a hardware and frontier event series by Blackbird.
This is an important moment to be working on hard physical problems, and we want more students, grads, and early-mid career engineers taking a bet on themselves and starting companies around ambitious problems.
We're bringing together engineers for a fireside with Freesia Gaul from On Zero. While at uni, Freesia hacked together a haptic glove in her dorm room — and at 19, turned it into On Zero, a startup bringing touch and gesture tracking to XR, raising her first round along the way, and dropping out of university.
We will also have the Blackbird investment team to talk about what we look for in founders who are right at the beginning of their journey.
Reach out to sberhane@blackbird.vc or aghosh@blackbird.vc if you have any questions or know someone who should.
See you there!
