Raphael Certain

Founder of Clarity. Eradicate brain diseases using just light and sound.

[Raphael Certain @raphael_certain]

Recently, I realized that the platform we’re building at Clarity will not only deliver treatments, but collect and generate billions of brain data points that will compound and feed foundation models, making this loop better and better, just like robots and autonomous cars.

MIT just built an AI that can control your body.
It can move your fingers, make you play piano, even if you don’t know the song!
AI decides the hand movement. Wrist pads send signals to your muscles, so your fingers move even if you don’t know how

Raising money isn’t the hard part of being a founder.

Here’s what actually breaks people ↓

"Go all the way until it hurts. If you're doing something and it's easy, it's not valuable." - @travisk

"If anyone says a strategic thing was easy, I'm like, 'You messed up. You could have gone way further. More competitive advantage. More differentiation. Get it together.'"

The ability of a system to modulate and measure brain activity will drive the next AI architectures.

There are very few things more satisfying in life than incredible taste in design.

@xuwu I like your view!

XR is heading into its most exciting maturation stages. After this transition, it will be everywhere.

[Ben Lang @benz145]

After nearly 15 years covering XR, I don’t say this lightly:

2025 was the most consequential year the industry has ever had.

Miss it and nothing in 2026 will make sense.

I wonder if @SpaceX and @elonmusk have a team working on hibernation technology for travels to Mars.

the act of creation is the only thing that justifies existence

[Raphael Certain @raphael_certain]

@lizwessel That’s a great, high-value post!

[Raphael Certain @raphael_certain]

@TurnerNovak It’s great to have such an open conversation about what it actually takes to raise those healthtech hardware rounds!

[Raphael Certain @raphael_certain]

VR/AR is the most overlooked category and will become ubiquitous without we even realize.

Think about it. How many big tech companies are spending billions on their wearable computing programs? Meta, Apple, Google… all rushing to lead the next wave of human-computer interfaces

[Raphael Certain @raphael_certain]

It’s hypnotic. You can read it for hours and hours and your brain will explode with such a quantity of human knowledge condensed in one single place.

@marieschneegans I have been doing this back and forth for 4 years. I’m at this moment too

[Raphael Certain @raphael_certain]

VR is progressing quickly. Like most new technologies it needed some time to reach maturity with better form factors, performance and usages. I have no doubt immersive computing will take over other devices within the next decade.

It's official. After years of speculation.
