“In 2008, when Al Gore gave his famous talk on an Inconvenient Truth on climate change. And that kind of shook me awake. I joke that I thought we had already solved the environmental crisis by separating our trash. And here is this guy talking about this monster that is barreling down on us. I felt what the hell am I doing in the entertainment industry.” — Lin Kayser, CEO, Hyperganic 
 
“Hyperganic tries to dramatically accelerate innovation by moving manufacturing and engineering to a software paradigm.”— Lin Kayser, CEO, Hyperganic
 
“There is one aspect of our technology that is interesting. What you do when you create an object using our technology is you don't create an object, you create a process that creates objects.” — Lin Kayser, CEO, Hyperganic
