Meet Kyle Vogt, the 'Robot Guru' Who Just Sold His Second Billion-Dollar Startup in Two Years

Ten years ago, Justin Kan and Emmett Shear had just sold their app company, Kiko, and were itching for another venture. They had a concept -- livestream video -- but no idea how to build it. So they sent an email to the MIT engineering listserv, requesting a "hardware hacker" for an unspecified project. Kyle Vogt, a young student fascinated with robotics, replied. They met over coffee where Kan and Shear pitched their idea before flying out to San Francisco.
