In this episode of the Innovators and Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with Amar Bakshi, founder of Shared Studios and Noro, to explore how Amar’s visionary work is redefining human connection through immersive technology. Amar shares the evolution from his original art project, which connected strangers worldwide via life-size video portals installed in locations from New York to Tehran, refugee camps, and universities, to creating Noro’s cutting-edge video conferencing solutions that bridge the gap between virtual meetings and face-to-face interaction. They discuss the inspiration behind his projects, including his personal experiences as a journalist and his grandmother’s story of displacement, highlighting the emotional and cultural impact of authentic human connection. Amar explains the challenges of building a global network in complex political environments, the importance of community-led curation, and leveraging technology to enable deeper trust and collaboration beyond traditional video calls like Zoom. The conversation also covers insights into building company culture, navigating the transition from art to business, raising capital, and how AI and future tech innovations could enhance multilingual communication and intimacy in virtual settings. Amar closes by sharing lessons learned as a founder about balancing commitment with perspective and fostering inclusive, purpose-driven teams. This episode provides a thoughtful look at how technology can create meaningful, serendipitous human connections across borders and industries.

Season 2, Episode 3 Part 3 of 3 on crowdfunding. In this episode, we talk about the existential aspects of crowdfunding, and answering questions from the Brain Trust Discord and Bluesky: How do you decide if a project is right for the green realm (or equivalent) as opposed to just doing a release on your own stores? How do we even think this is a good idea to build a business model on? How do we reach the middle class where we don’t need to run crowdfunding campaigns just to get print runs done At what point in the design process do you recommend launching your crowdfunding campaign? Especially for someone new to crowdfunding? When do you typically do it for yourselves?

Season 2, Episode 2: Crowdfunding is a Pencil Dive into a Pond. Part 2 of 3 on crowdfunding. In this episode, we focus on the mental aspect of crowdfunding, and answer questions from our Discord and Bluesky: How do you crowdfund a second game? How to balance sustainability and environmental responsibility? Can crowdfunding be fun? Do we need to divorce our worth from our projects more? How do you stop thinking about the campaign when you need to do other tasks, like sleep? How do you disengage in a healthy way to prevent obsession with watching the meter go up?
