A Breakthrough in Brainwaves - #16

Rufus Mitchell-Heggs is the Co-founder & Chief Scientific Officer of Connectome - a neurotechnology company transforming how we understand and optimise the human brain.

Connectome’s mission is to make advanced brain insights accessible to everyone, starting with a non-invasive scan, and over time building the world’s largest longitudinal brain dataset.

In this episode, we discuss how Rufus and his team are focused on:

1. Only providing metrics that people can act on

2. The surprising customer segment raving about this technology

3. Balancing the tension between ‘moving fast and breaking things’ with ‘doing things properly’

You will also get to see Rufus demoing the headset himself!
