VividQ is on a mission to create game-changing visual experiences through our holographic AR display technology. To facilitate that journey we have appointed an advisory board of California-based industry heavyweights who will support our management team in the rapid commercialisation of holography in the US and beyond. The VividQ Advisory Board includes tech executives from leading consumer and technology companies, as well as serial entrepreneurs and investors, who will use their experiences to support VividQ in achieving its mission.
“As a deep-tech company, we know that bringing our products and technology to the mass market will present numerous challenges and opportunities as we scale. We already have an exceptional leadership team and Board of Directors, but the addition of this advisory board gives us an even richer pool of expertise to dip into,” said VividQ CEO Darran Milne. “I’m very happy with the quality of experts that believe in VividQ’s mission and accepted our invitation. They represent such a broad range of perspectives and real-world experiences in display technology, consumer electronics and start-up environments.”
