How do you tell the difference between an impossible idea and one the world simply isn’t ready for yet? Inventor and Deep Future founder Pablos Holman joins The Legacy Code to explore breakthrough technology, invention, deep-tech investing, founder conviction, and what it takes to turn ambitious science into something the real world can use.
Pablos’ career spans early cryptocurrency, AI for financial markets, Blue Origin, and Intellectual Ventures Lab, where his team was awarded thousands of patents; his TED talks have reached more than 30 million views.
The Legacy Code is part of the ecosystem I’m building around Succedia Ventures—connecting scientists, founders, operators, investors, and long-term capital around consequential innovation.
