Mark Greget is the founder & CEO of NuEyes, an AR hardware and software company that originally launched in 2016 to assist those with degenerative eye conditions. Recently the company has expanded its product offerings into enterprise, gaming, and entertainment with the launch of the Pro 3 and Pro 3e.

Mark is a U.S. Navy veteran and an accomplished medical technology entrepreneur. Prior to NuEyes, Mark was the founder of Los Angeles Low Vision, which was recognized as a leader in the medical industry and became the number two distribution company for visual assistive technology in the country responsible for millions in revenue.

In this conversation, Mark describes how the company got its start by changing the lives of the visually impaired using custom software, glasses from the now defunct ODG, and the patient's ability to learn how to see again through the glasses.

We go on to talk about the demise of AR glasses maker ODG, and the resulting struggles and opportunities for Mark and the team at NuEyes. Now they are tackling healthcare, enterprise and entertainment with a pair of new wearable displays. He also describes how he’s built an AR hardware and software company on a shoestring budget and the challenges of raising money as a hardware tech company.
