167. Kamil Mansuri. From Phone Carriers to Ai Voice Agents And Back.

Welcome to another episode of The Future of the Future. Today we’re exploring the journey from engineer to founder—and what it takes to turn years of technical experience into a company solving meaningful problems. My guest is Kamil Mansuri, a technologist and entrepreneur who has worked at companies like Comcast, Take-Two Interactive, and Vapor IO, building systems at scale before eventually launching his own startup. In this conversation, we talk about how Kamil first got into technology, the formative experiences that shaped his career, and the technical and leadership skills he developed along the way. We also dive into the origin story of Telepath—the problem it aims to solve, the challenges of building it, and what it takes to lead a team and create a strong culture as a founder. Finally, we reflect on the lessons from his journey and the advice he’d give to aspiring tech founders who want to build impactful products. Enjoy!
