About this listen
Wanna go wild with your selfie? Vybe's got you and your crew. Dr. Patrick, who is also a calypso singer and aficionado, shares his thoughts on product-fit, running and funding his start-up, and much more. The Rhodes Scholar earned his undergraduate degree in Computer Science from Harvard University and his PhD in Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems CDT from the University of Oxford. He discusses his journey from being an international squash champion and college varsity athlete to joining Meta AI and ultimately becoming the CEO of his startup, which is less than two years old. Since the taping this interview, Vybe has closed on a $4.75 million seed round, and he and his co-founder have been featured in TechCrunch magazine. During the C4C interview with Google exec Chelsea Ziadie, Dr. Patrick shares how the AI industry can overcome the challenges of creating inclusive and equitable AI systems, his thoughts on where AI is going over the next six months to five years, and the lessons he's learned from his early days growing up in Trinidad to now being a CEO.
