The third issue of Representations, a limited series exploring neurotech's evolving business frontier, produced in partnership with PL Neuro.
Commercialization in BCI comes down to two things: people and technology. This issue makes the case that culture — the shared values and practices that shape how teams decide and who they attract — is one of the most decisive, and most overlooked, variables in the field. It centers on a conversation with Motif Neurotech's Jacob Robinson ahead of the company's first-in-human psychiatric BCI implant, tracing how a single KPI, lived-experience advisory boards, and grant-funded partnerships built a mission-driven company.
Along the way it maps who's hiring across 16 implanted-BCI startups, hears from Neurosoft's Nicolas Vachicouras on scaling neuroAI with supercomputing access, and gathers reflections on culture from Tom Oxley, Max Hodak, and Paradromics' Matt Angle. It closes with the Juan Benet Podcast episode featuring Precision Neuroscience co-founder Ben Rapoport.
Representations is written by Naveen Rao of Neurotech Futures, in partnership with PL Neuro.
