"Nico X"

I build products at the frontier of science.

My thesis is that Deep Tech will be the biggest transformative force for our society and economy for the next 100+ years.

Turning cutting edge science and frontier tech into valuable products is my passion, and my job.

Recently, I worked alongside R&D teams at Synthesia🦄 to mold generative AI breakthroughs into impactful features (e.g. 1,2). Previously, I worked on robots and autonomous driving (Deepen, Wayve🦄). I spearheaded Safetypool, the world’s first and biggest public scenario database for safety and validation of automated driving systems. I launched a tiny robotics startup too.

I love meeting strong deep tech founders. If I can, I help them turning their skills, domain expertise and vision into actual products. If you are one of them, reach out!

I contribute to LTF to inspire and support the next generation of STEM leaders in Italy.

I used to play basketball a lot, now I kitesurf, surf and I recently started DJing. I should start writing too, probably.
