Building affective intelligence from real engineering

Finnox today, and my path from RoboMaster to a startup

A startup begins with a problem, not a product

  • Commands : what user explicity syas
  • Human state : stress, fatigue, attention

Finnox connects human signals to device behaviour

  • Sense
  • Understand
  • Enable

Reduce the technical translation


  • Use AI agrressive
  • spend for evidence
  • work where reality can say no

  • Use AI to move faster
  • Use reality to verify the result

董科含

If really succeed, will the world become better ?

Do the change to the world !!!


Follow the trend :

  • Atmosphere trend
  • Personal trend

Know yourself better, not just follow the environment

Information density, make it more simple (Not expand)

Research : deep

Only you do it 80-90%, not say you are going to prepare.

You already make a version, then to see others expectations

Less promise, more works

Not try to leave traces, make your own decisions and your own journey

Rely on grinding to make your own self

A series of decisions


A world belong to the youth !


Move fast, focus on the really important things

You can operate like a founder now
