Brendan Iribe

I'm Brendan Iribe, CEO and co-founder of Sesame. We're building personal voice agents you enjoy talking to, plus all-day AI glasses that make them more useful.

In 2012, a friend told me to meet Palmer Luckey, whose VR headset John Carmack had shown at E3. I tried his prototype in a Long Beach hotel meeting room, and the hair on my neck stood up. We started Oculus that summer, and I was CEO until 2016.

Before that, I co-founded Scaleform, which Autodesk bought, and worked on the Civilization IV interface. I also race cars as an FIA Bronze driver.
