Fireside Chat: Navigating Physical AI
Join us for an evening with the SVB community for founders and operators building in deep tech.
Aaron Nathan, CEO & Co-Founder of Point One Navigation, will sit down for a fireside chat with Travis Hedge, Co-Founder & CEO of Vouch. Aaron's company builds centimeter-level precision positioning technology, giving robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles the "where am I exactly" layer they need to operate in the real world. Together, they'll talk through the realities of building at the frontier — from navigating technical risk and long R&D cycles to raising capital for companies that don't fit the standard SaaS mold.
Expect an honest, unscripted conversation, followed by time to connect with other founders and operators in the space over drinks and appetizers.
