Soroush Karimzadeh, Co-Founder & CEO of Novarc Technologies
•
We sit down with Soroush Karimzadeh, Co-Founder and CEO of Novarc Technologies, to explore how autonomous welding is reshaping industrial automation.
Soroush shares his journey from engineering into entrepreneurship, and how Novarc is solving one of manufacturing’s biggest challenges, the global shortage of skilled welders. The conversation covers embodied AI, product market fit in robotics, and why reliability matters more than hype.
They also break down the realities of building a hardware business, from early sacrifices and funding challenges to scaling a multidisciplinary team. Soroush explains how Novarc is using AI-driven vision systems to enable adaptive welding, and what this means for productivity, quality, and workforce transformation.

Martin Heriaud, Head of Racing Tech Development at Nissan Formula E Team
31:38|In this episode we speaks with Martin Heriaud, Head of Racing Technology Development at Nissan Formula E Team.Martin shares his journey into motorsport, from early internships to race engineering and now leading key technology development across the team. He explains how Formula E has evolved over the years, what makes the championship such a unique engineering challenge, and why software, simulator work, and systems thinking now play such a central role in performance.The conversation also explores the team side of motorsport, the importance of consistency, how success is built across every department, and what the move into the Gen 4 era means for Nissan Formula E Team.
Bentzion Levinson, Founder & CEO of Heven Aerotech
01:00:07|In this episode we speak with Bentzion Levinson, Founder and CEO of Heven Aerotech, about building a global drone company from first principles and scaling in one of the fastest-moving sectors in the world.Bentzion shares how his journey from military service into entrepreneurship shaped his perspective on leadership, responsibility, and building technology with real-world impact. He explains why timing matters as much as the idea itself, and how spotting the shift from drones as cameras to drones as autonomous systems created a clear opportunity.The conversation explores the realities of building in defence technology, from early-stage uncertainty and personal sacrifice to scaling manufacturing and competing in a rapidly evolving global market. Bentzion also breaks down the role of hydrogen fuel cells, AI, and autonomous systems in shaping the next generation of aerial platforms.
Theo Nash, CEO at Mundane
59:26|In this episode we speak with Theo Nash, CEO of Mundane, about building robots for real work and why the future of robotics should focus on labour amplification, not labour replacement.Theo shares his journey from electrical engineering in the UK to studying in China and at Stanford, before co founding Mundane to tackle the dull, dangerous and repetitive work that robots are best placed to handle.He explains why Mundane took a full stack approach, from hardware and control systems to human robot interfaces, and why the real challenge is not flashy demos but building robots that create economic value in real environments.
Mark Bjornsgaard, Founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Deep Green
53:46|In this episode Mark Bjornsgaard, Founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Deep Green, shares his journey into entrepreneurship and the thinking behind building a new model for data centre infrastructure.Mark discusses the importance of testing assumptions, killing weak ideas early, and approaching entrepreneurship through disciplined experimentation rather than blind belief.The conversation explores Deep Green’s mission to reuse heat from data centres, the growing power challenge driven by AI, and why distributed computing could reshape how data centres are built in the future.
