#108: You can leave the phone at home: Minimis’ Athletic Smart Glasses Revolution
Minimis have combined your smart watch and phone, and put it in your sunglasses, to streamline athletic performance.

Ideal for running and biking, it’s a product created by a finance lawyer and a medical engineer.
Joseph Guo is a young lawyer who’s worked at ASIC, IAG and Macquarie. He’s also a keen runner and cyclist, who saw a gap in the market.
Paul Skevington has spent 25 years working as a medical engineer, creating artificial hearts, and his most recent posting was robotics in China. He’s also a keen runner.
They’ve combined forces to make Minimis Smart Glasses. They’re backed by capital in the US and Asia, and they’ve about to take their product to market.
This is their story.
