Building Deep Tech with Ilir Aliu
Ep 51 | Don't Found a Startup Without Decade-Long Passion (w/ Adrian Macneil)
05 Feb 2025
In today's 51st episode, I talk to Adrian Macneil, Co-Founder and CEO of Foxglove: Adrian Macneil is the Co-Founder & CEO of Foxglove, a purpose-built robotics development platform to increase the GDP of robotics. Coming from New Zealand with a degree in Computer Science, Adrian knew early on that his home country wasn’t big enough for his ambitions. He moved to San Francisco, the center of entrepreneurship and tech startups. He was an early employee at Coinbase, working long hours through its highs and lows, before joining Cruise, where he built large-scale infrastructure for autonomous vehicles. In this episode, he shares his experience as a deep tech founder, the challenges of building a platform for robotics development tools, why he sees Rust as the future of robotics, and why starting a company means committing at least 10 years to solving a real problem. This episode is for you if you're a founder, or engineer working in AI, robotics or deep tech.
