Photonic IC development with Wave’s James Lee

Listen on

Episode notes

James Lee, CEO and co-founder of Wave Photonics, talks to us about how they are enabling rapid photonic integrated circuit development for any wavelength or platform.

James explains how the design for integrated photonics uses the same scalable process used to make semiconductor electronics chips to make circuits for light. And he talks about the market opportunity for both tackling energy and bandwidth, and longer term with sensing and quantum.

We gain great insights about:

·       Quitting a job maybe too early to start a business

·       You don’t have to be impossibly smart and motivated to be an entrepreneur

·       Building technology from scratch

·       Experiencing different universities and accelerator programmes (both sides of the pond)

·       Recruiting the right people

·       Experiencing Silicon Valley next-level optimism and vision

·       Targeting clients at such an early stage of a company

Watch this space as Wave develops their products and builds their go-to-market outreach.
