Interview on AI, Immigration, Entrepreneurship - Personal page of Massimiliano Versace

As part of the Immigrant Entrepreneur Video Interview Series, I go over what it meant to come to US as an immigrant to study for my PhD and found Neurala alongside my colleagues. Given 2/3 of Neurala's founders are immigrant, this is a main character of Neurala as a company. Being born in North Italy from a family of South Italian immigrant, I have been raised with deep familiarity with what it means to live in a place where you are'not from'. Since my early years, I have learned that immigrants start'a little behind the official starting line', whether at school, in job interviews, and in virtually any process or interaction where people are selected based on some personal criteria. This is how the human mind works (perhaps this is material for another post…) – and I have come to terms with it.
