The Guest
Ohto Pentikäinen and Jamin Hu are the co-founders of Doublepoint, a company creating human-computer interaction technologies which are initially focused on detecting the moment of touching an object.
Ohto is a serial entrepreneur having been a co-founder and CEO twice by the age of 20 before co-founding Doublepoint. His earliest venture was reimagining the high school learning experience by creating a platform for multidisciplinary, self-directed learning.
Jamin has a passion for music and earned a degree in Classical Piano Performance before expanding his focus to pursue a masters degree in biomedical engineering.

In this conversation, Ohto and Jamin share how they crafted a unique high school curriculum to train entrepreneurs, what's missing in AR and other gesture sensing tech, and how mixing piano with bio engineering results in a new type of touch sensing technology.
They go on to share their vision for the company and their approach to getting there.
