Michael has been around the mobility space a long time, and we had a great discussion about the boom and bust nature of new transport tech.\n\n\nSpecifically, we talk about: \n \n- Michael’s background, his journey through energy security and getting into electrification of mobility, involvement with Better Place, and subsequent founding of Maniv Mobility\n- How his thesis has changed over time from electric, to autonomous to micromobility\n- Discussion about their existing investments, including Phantom Auto, Bolt Bikes and one of our most popular episodes to date: Revel, and what was compelling about each. \n- How to accelerate the development of infrastructure suited to micromobility. \n- What he agrees and disagrees about with Horace’s thesis. \n- Which city is the leader for micromobility and why New York is still undoing the mess from Robert Moses, the Power Broker who ran infrastructure from the 1920s-1960s in the USA.\nNote that this was recorded pre-the COVID19 outbreak. I’m looking forward to having him back on at some point in the future to discuss the impacts.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/at7G3gxGDWglvTJ3FfhPtfaxPELHBPmCFC9m1Fl166c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xZjFh/Y2JhNjg4Mzg5MzJi/ZGJlMGFmNjA4ZjU4/NzMzOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
