In this episode, we speak with Parsa Bakhtiari, Co-Founder of Feather Robotics, about his journey from helping launch the Tesla Model 3 to pioneering a new generation of affordable, deployable humanoid robots.
Parsa shares how his background as an Iranian immigrant shaped his entrepreneurial mindset, the lessons learned from working alongside Elon Musk, and the sacrifices required to turn an idea into a company that could redefine human–robot interaction.
Together, they explore the founding story behind Feather Robotics, the importance of choosing the right co-founder, and what it really takes to build a startup in one of the world’s most challenging industries — hardware.
From overcoming early failures and managing burnout to scaling production and hiring the right founding team, this conversation offers a candid look at the realities of entrepreneurship and the vision behind a company aiming to “give people back their time.”
