In Episode #38, I talk with Nima Gard, Director of AI at Path Robotics, which just closed its Series D with a $100M raise:
We recorded this episode on Halloween—you’ll spot him in Spock ears, while I stayed costume-free.
Nima shares his journey from Iran to the U.S., starting with a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering, and his move to Ohio, where he completed his Ph.D. in Geodetic Engineering at Ohio State University.
Five years ago, Nima joined Path Robotics as a Senior Computer Vision Engineer—his first industry role outside academia. Since then, he’s risen to Team Lead and now serves as Director of AI.
It was a great convo and I had a lot of fun, hope you too, when listening to today's episode!
