What is Neuralink?

Since Elon is so publicly facing with his other ventures, it seems like Neuralink kinda gets pushed under the rug, but as time passes, it’ll be fun to see how the company grows and what societal awareness they raise. I’m most excited about Neuralink’s future than any other company. The prospect of a remedy for Alzheimer’s and/ or decreased limb functionality is super inspiring.

Put yourself in the circumstances of someone who has decreased ability to walk, limited ability to grab objects in daily life, or has severe paralysis. It’s no guarantee Neuralink will develop a fully functional remedy, but I personally believe the prospects are good. How amazing would it be to help one, two, ten, or even one hundred people be able to regain an ability they likely once took for granted?!

Based on the California Secretary of State’s business search, Neuralink was formally created around four years ago: in July 2016. LinkedIn shows 82 employees, so assuming this is a slight undercut, they have a team of close to 100 people- not very big, however at every public event, and nearly any time Elon mentions the company, he emphasizes that the company is hiring and looking for all-star talent, who are wanting to make a big impact on solving real problems. It wouldn’t surprise me if five years from now, Neuralink is as well known as SpaceX and Tesla are today.
