On this episode, we have the privilege of hosting Amit, a seasoned technology professional with over two decades of experience in Silicon Valley. As a venture capitalist, Amit's focus lies in seed-stage applied AI investments, particularly in the realms of Digital Health, Automation (including automotive and robotics), and Enterprise solutions.Among his notable achievements, Amit played a pivotal role in the success of nuTonomy (a seed-stage venture acquired for an impressive $450 million) during his tenure at Samsung NEXT Ventures. He also contributed significantly to the triumph of Misfit Wearables (another seed-stage success, sold for $260 million) while at Norwest Ventures.Amit's background extends beyond investing; he has hands-on experience in product development and analytics, both at his startup venture, HealthIQ (which boasted a last disclosed valuation of $450 million in May 2019), and at Google, where he joined the company in its pre-IPO stage and experienced the challenges and rewards of hypergrowth.Born and raised in Brazil, Amit is a polyglot, proficient in three languages and fluent in two others. He's a true global citizen, having lived in five different parts of the world. Notably, Amit co-founded and has been at the helm of a non-profit organization since 2000. Through crowdfunding efforts, this organization successfully established a high school lab, a library, and even a hospital in rural India, benefiting a community of 100,000 people.
