Every month, Hexa hosts an in-person fireside chat where a CTO shares their journey, learnings, and vision of the role.
Before the event, we film a short conversation to share their insights with those who can’t join us in person.
In this episode, Martin Raison, cofounder and CTO of Nabla, sits down with Guillaume Marquis, CTO and cofounder of Basalt, to talk about building an AI assistant for healthcare professionals — and what it takes to scale a deeptech startup in one of the most regulated industries.
In this conversation:
How Nabla began, and the transition from Facebook AI Research to entrepreneurship
The evolution of AI models, from transformers to LLMs
Innovating in a regulated space: learning to navigate with humility
The CTO’s evolution: from tinkerer, to architect, to conductor
How new AI tools (Claude, Code Interpreter, etc.) are reshaping tech workflows
Cofounder fit and staying motivated for the long haul
