Emesent co-founders Stefan Hrabar and Farid Kendoul: How to Align with Natural, Unfair Advantages

Drone technology has already changed the way humans interact with the world around them. Further research and development continue to make strides with new innovations. One company to come out of that research is Emesent, which has developed technology that allows drones to fly beyond the line of sight of humans where there is no GPS to guide them. Emesent co-founders Stefan Hrabar and Farid Kendoul joined Roland Siebelink of the Midstage Institute on this week’s episode of the Midstage Startup Momentum Momentum Podcast. They discussed Emesent’s transition from a research project to a startup and the keys to the company’s rapid growth. What are the important similarities between being a researcher and being a founder? How did underground mining become the focus of Emesent? The biggest challenge when Emesent grew from seven to 80 people in two and a half years. The importance of being conscious of company culture with such a fast-growing company. How Emesent was able to have “pent up demand” as soon as it launched its product.
