How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)

Pablo (CEO) and Javi (COO) are siblings. Luis (CTO) met Pablo on their second day of their Robotics and Electronics undergraduate program. Later, they both pursued a Masters in Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). It was also at TUM where Pablo pursued his PhD in Computer Vision at one of the top 3D AI Labs in the world.
