Exclusive: Inside Fortell (@fortellresearch)

The $740M startup that had to waitlist billionaires and celebrities for its AI hearing aid.

Their custom chip helps you "hear where you look", distinguishing voices in noisy environments - which solved a problem no hearing aid had cracked in 70 years. Now they're expanding across America to start reaching the 1.5 billion people globally who need it.

Founded by four wildly impressive co-founders. Plus, backed from top VC's led by @JoshuaKushner @AntonioGracias @traestephens @wolfejosh @GavinSBaker @patrick_oshag @RobertIger @jaltma @aplusk @hbarra + more.

We flew to New York, toured their factory, and tried it ourselves. To date, this is our proudest episode, truly technology at it's best. Enjoy :)
