Building the future of AI Robotics: Kimberly Stover, SuperTech FT
In this episode, I sit down with Kimberly Stover, Director of Operations at SuperTech FT, to talk about what it really takes to build an AI and robotics nonprofit from the inside out.
Kim shares how SuperTech FT is growing from a Bay Area org into a global mission, with groups already coming in from England and expansion plans across Europe. We get into the behind-the-scenes work most people never see, from running operations and taxes to writing proposals and building cohorts that bring AI education to people who'd never get exposed to it otherwise.
We also talk about her mindset of jumping into things she doesn't know yet, why "there's always a next" is the reality of building something meaningful, and how SuperTech is combining its sister org IRAIR (Institute of Responsible AI Robotics) to scale the mission even further.
If you care about AI, robotics, education, or nonprofits doing real work, this one's for you.
