Sandbar CEO Mina Fahmi and True Ventures partner Toni Schneider discuss what it takes to build an AI wearable that actually works. After years of failed AI hardware, from Humane’s $700 pin to Rabbit’s struggles, Sandbar’s Stream ring caught the attention of a skeptical investor who backed Fitbit, Peloton, and Ring.
