Last night I was at one of Ritwik Pavan legendary dinners for hardware founders. Probably the best, highest-signal room in the world for people building hardware. 40 awesome founders and folks building in hardware… met some inspirational people! Thanks for having me - had a blast! ✌🏽

The mini TV gift playing our launch video was such an incredible touch! 📺

Very sad to hear about the passing of legendary Silicon Valley investor and photographer, Om Malik, . I only met him a couple of times — but on both occasions he was extremely kind, gentle and supportive.

His passion for cameras and photography was impressive and we managed to discuss a lot of details about the industry and where it could go. He gave me invaluable feedback and advice.

We even spoke about cricket and the England vs India test match at Lords 🏏

Om took this photo of my using the Caira camera at the Blue Bottle in South Park—and I took a couple of him. He told me what we were working on was important and we should keep pushing forward to change the camera industry 📸

Those little nuggets of inspiration meant a lot. Thank you 🙏🏾

Existing camera workflows were never made for fast-paced social media production, which is why we have bottlenecks.

from invited me for a chat about cameras and what we’re working on .

We’re building a camera platform that can unify fragmented tools and complex workflow.
