Never imagined something I built would one day be featured in Times Square. Grateful to @brexHQ and the amazing @awear_tech team for making this possible.

What happens when we can read the brain faster than we can govern it?

At Asilomar for the Brain and Mind, one theme stood out:

Trust, ethics, and user agency are becoming core product decisions—not afterthoughts.

[Antonio Forenza @antonio_awear]

It really does take a village to build a company.

Grateful for @HustleFundVC and @dunkhippo33 for incredible few days at the Founder Summit: real advice, real founders, real learnings.

Best part? You’re reminded you’re not building alone.

Back to building 🚀

Brain may be the limit to human longevity

At Longevity × Brain with @ArnaudAuger:
• Brain aging starts early → measure sooner
• Prevention works
• AI + brain data = proactive mental wellness

Future = AI + human empathy

What happens when tech can read your brain?

At @sxsw with @OpenBCI, @paradromics & @NitaFarahany:
• Regulation is catching up
• Not all neurotech = medical
• Neural data privacy matters

@awear_tech → brain data should empower you, not exploit you

Great kickoff of AgeTech SF with @AgeTechAtlanta and Emily Steeman

Fun interview with @ArnaudAuger on wearables, AI & the future of wellness — filmed at @Cathayinnov for @M6
How many wearables were in the room? 👀

Closing out #JPM2026 at @aiifyio's HealthTech Summit with a Wearable Tech Fashion Show was a powerful glimpse of what’s next: wearables fully integrated into fashion, tracking biomarkers with AI to support real human wellbeing. The future of wellness is wearable!

An inspiring day at the Brain Health Summit in SF — exploring how neuroscience, design & tech can enhance awareness and balance.
Grateful to @Neurable, @daniel_kraft, @AdamGazz, @bryan_johnson' Kernel & @awear_tech for pushing the frontier of brain data, neurotech, and well-being

[Antonio Forenza @antonio_awear]

Wrapped an inspiring Movement, Music & Brain Wellness workshop at UCSF by AccelNet — bridging art, neuroscience & tech.

Honored to join @jesseengel, Eric Feidner & Nicolas Namoradze to discuss how @awear_tech is shaping the future of wearable EEG & mental well-being.

Trust and vulnerability aren’t soft skills — they’re the foundation of innovation.

At the AI Investment Summit @ UC Berkeley, @juliacvillagra reminded us that breakthroughs happen when people feel safe enough to take bold risks.

Another inspiring panel at #WomenInTech: success starts with giving first—don’t let others’ scars define your path.

Women’s superpower? Emotional intelligence. Lead with empathy, trust your gut, listen—people love to be heard.

🚗 The future of self-driving might look like this:
You own an autonomous vehicle—but when you’re not using it, it joins a rideshare network like Uber and earns money for you.

AI isn’t just changing how we move—it’s redefining ownership, mobility, and income. #TechCrunchDisrupt

Preparation is everything.

@JerryRice said he’d play the whole game the night before—over and over again— so that when it’s time to perform, he can just be present and have fun.

That’s not just football. That’s life, startup building, and greatness. #TechCrunchDisrupt #Mindset
