Semiconductors from Lab to Market: The Movidius Journey. A chat with Sean Mitchell, Co-Founder and Former CEO of Movidius

Thanks, Nicola.

Pleasure to be here.

So, before, let's say, starting our conversation, I know you are today the chairman and chief commercial officer of Ubotica, and you serve also in other boards, in other deep tech startups.

So, can you share more about yourself and what you are doing today?

Sure, yeah.

Once...

Intel acquired Movidius.

I had to work for Intel for four years.

So once that term expired, came back out I guess into the the wide world again and I guess my idea was to have a bit more of a portfolio position with taking board level positions and doing some angel investing in companies to you know help advise new companies getting off the ground so I have gotten involved in quite quite a number of them but one in particular though I ended up getting a pulled into more of an executive role as well.

That's Hubonica.

So that's the one where I'm in a bit more of a hands-on role in the other projects.

It's either a board level or investor kind of position.

But yeah, still involved in plenty of different projects in generally deep tech areas and specializing around edge AI and robotics and those kind of areas.

Yeah, and I'm keen to know more about the experience you gathered during the Mobidius journey and let's say what you think also today, maybe the context of today's startup of edge computing and let's say the intersection of what you've seen, of course, in 2005 and what you look in 2000, let's say in 26.
