Built to Scale Ep. 2

Steve Teig has spent his career building. A serial founder and CTO across biotech, EDA, and semiconductors, he started Perceive because the chips he needed hadn't been invented. Now a VP Distinguished Engineer at Amazon, he sees himself as still inventing — just with a bigger stage.

Host Valentina Escudero talks to Steve about:

• Whether inventing is more of an art or a craft

• Why engineers are great at answering questions but rarely ask better ones

• Chiplets, skyscrapers, and what's actually exciting in AI right now

Built to Scale is a series from Amazon Devices & Services featuring founders and inventors building at the intersection of AI and hardware.

Built to Scale Ep. 1

In the inaugural episode of Built to Scale, Ethan Sutin — co-founder and CTO of Bee — sits down with Valentina Escudero from Amazon Devices & Services Business Development to talk about what it took to survive as a builder long enough for the moment to catch up to the vision. From building a product that transforms conversations and the unexpected users who changed everything, to why he chose Amazon as the partner to scale.
