Ep. 170 – Sridhar Iyengar: Life After a $260 Million Exit [Live in Boston]

Broadcast on:
28 Jul 2023

Welcome to the Boston Series of Beat the Often Path! I got the chance to meet some of the most innovative and inspiring people in Boston’s robust start-up series, and I have to tell you, I absolutely loved my time there. Joining us on location at the Neurable offices in downtown Boston, Sridhar Iyengar is the Chief Innovation Officer of Elemental Machines and the former founder and director of Misfit, a wearable tech company that was purchased in 2015 by Fossil for $260 million. Sridhar holds over 30 U.S. and international patents and received his Ph.D. from Cambridge University as a Marshall Scholar. His newest company Elemental Machines has 250+ Customers and $300M+ in Protected Assets Monitored with their tech, which leverages a unique suite of IoT-enabled sensors, innovative software, and first-in-class data science to provide actionable insights that optimize complex operations. If it sounds complicated, it might be because this man is a genius. But more importantly, he’s a great person who is committed to helping other founders grow, so I’m deeply honored to have his wisdom on this show today.
