Manage episode 377350448 series 2117514
Replay of an interview originally published in April 2023:
Maryam Sabour is the General Manager and Head of Business for the AR Headsets group at Niantic, where the goal is to enable everyday adventures and real-life social interaction through location-based augmented reality.
Maryam studied law and business at university, going on to earn a Juris Doctorate at McGill University. Early in her career, she was drawn to entrepreneurship, having founded an e-commerce company and a legal clinic for startups.
Maryam was drawn into the world of VR, where she spent several years working as a founder or consultant across several projects, before taking on the role of the business development lead for Niantic’s then nascent Lightship AR platform about 5 years ago.
In this conversation, Maryam shares her path from law to entrepreneurship to Niantic, and explains why Niantic became a hardware innovator.
Maryam goes on to discuss:
- the tradeoffs and challenges in making a device suitable for outdoor gaming,
- some lessons learned from early explorations,
- how the hardware fits into the broader Niantic strategy,
- and how the company thinks about privacy.
