Matt joins me today to discuss his company CoPilot. I am a happy user and an investor. During this episode, we cover the evolution of the company vision, how to learn about new disciplines as a founder. Matt shares how he always wanted to build robots and how he ended up working on copilot building a team from five to over 50 In one year, and how to successfully fundraise.

“If you can't make it happen with two overworked, overtired people sitting in a garage with a dream, then you're probably not going to be able to make it happen with $3,000,000 and two people sitting in a garage overworked with a dream. I'd say there's very, very specific cases where capital is truly the limiting factor to move to the next step.” - Matt Spettel
