The CEO of Quanergy Kevin Kennedy breaks down the company's public debut via SPAC merger on Wednesday. The company develops lidar sensors and smart perception software solutions for products used in mapping, security, industrial automation, and transportation.
This week on the SPACInsider podcast we talk about how Quanergy makes lidar arrays for a variety of navigation and imaging applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to smart cities and crowd control. Each of these subsectors differ as both technical challenges and business opportunities. We also discuss how many standalone lidar companies the public markets can handle as new niches and applications continue to be found.
In this episode we speak to Dr. Tianyue Yu, the Chief Development Officer and Co-Founder at Quanergy, a Silicon Valley based LiDAR organisation that were founded in 2012 and have developed a true, 100% solid state CMOS LiDAR sensor built on optical phased array (OPA) technology.This smart LiDAR solution is considered the "holy grail" of LiDAR as it will enable low-cost, highly reliable and more importantly mass producible LiDAR sensors for a wide range of application verticals.Listen today as we discuss;The history of Quanergy and their aim to "democratize LiDAR"The benefits of a solid state LiDAR as opposed to MEMS LiDAR.The future of Autonomous Driving and the immediate need for short range LiDAR applications as well as Quanergy's new S Series product line which will be focused on long-range LiDAR solutions for higher levels of Autonomous Driving in the near future.A number of exciting use cases for LiDAR employed by Quanergy's customers outside of the automotive domain - including port automation, traffic flow management and airport applications.

Eric Rosenblum is a Managing Partner at Tsingyuan Ventures, an early stage US fund with over $100m under management. They believe in the opportunity of cross-border and cross-discipline investments and focus primarily on US-based science startups founded by the Chinese tech diaspora. Prior to co-founding Tsingyuan Ventures, Eric graduated from Harvard, worked at BCG then got an MBA at MIT and worked as a management consultant and serial entrepreneur in China for 14 years. Eric was one of the rare foreign co-founders of multiple tech startups during China’s early Internet wave, and his ventures led to 2 exits (M&As for ChinaNOW and SmartPay). Coming back to the states, he then worked at Google and Palantir before co-founding Tsingyuan Ventures with former members of the TEEC Angel Fund. TEEC started as a network of Tsinghua University alumni (Tsinghua Entrepreneur & Executive Club (Tsinghua is like the MIT + Harvard of China) and wrote the first checks in 5 unicorns: Ginkgo Bioworks, Carta, Quanergy, Plus.ai, Zoom, and about 160 tech startups. While it is a US fund, the Tsingyuan name reflects its focus and strategy by combining part of the Tsinghua (清) name and ‘source/origin’ (源). Some context This episode is particularly timely following the recent ‘Proclamation on the Suspension of Entry as Nonimmigrants of Certain Students and Researchers from the People’s Republic of China’ by the White House. According to the Department of Homeland Security, in the 2018–19 academic year, there were enrolled at U.S. universities: 272,470 undergraduate and graduate students from China. 84,480 were in a graduate-level STEM program. These restrictions are focused on students coming from mainland universities associated with the army, but might impact the ‘intellectual balance of trade’ that had been so favorable to the US so far. Episode Overview In this episode, we discuss: The early days of China’s tech scene and the waves of Chinese PhDs in the US, to highlight the upcoming surge in opportunities, particularly with the many applications of AI at scale. The intellectual balance of trade, and the value of this asset for the US. The role of non-state actors like Google, Baidu or Alibaba as talent factories. The 10-year lag between the moment a foreign student comes for a few years and starts a company, and why he believes we’re still just seeing the upswing of the wave. China’s advances with regulation, local support and public acceptance of technology for the new wave of data-driven startups. Analogies with basketball and pingpong to compare the impact and legacy of drafting outstanding talent into a system, and the risks of making the talent trade balance less favorable to America. How cross-border talent will be key to create more truly global champions from the US. References Mentioned Eric mentions successful companies founded by the Chinese diaspora (including Guitar Hero, Nvidia, Zoom, etc.) More here. In addition to cross-border, Eric makes the case for cross-disciplinary investments here. Last, here are Eric's all-time favorites, that also happen to be very timely: Taylor Branch’s series on MLK Jr. Starting with “Parting the Waters”. Robert Caro’s series on Lyndon Johnson. Starting with “The Path to Power”. (his most recent read): The Fire is Upon Us (about the epic debate between William F Buckley Jr and James Baldwin). Also in video.

Renegade Thinkers Unite: #2 Podcast for CMOs & B2B Marketers
CES never fails to be a revelatory experience, but this year marked a significant step closer to one of humanity's longest-held dreams (or at least, one of Drew's longest-held dreams): A Jetsons-style flying car! A key component of this tech-driven marvel is an astoundingly impressive "LiDAR" system—think radar detection, done with laser technology. In simpler terms, a new way for machines to see things. Granted, the implications are much broader than a flying car, but it provides an interesting way to demo this new system. On this episode of RTU, Drew speaks with Louay Eldada, CEO and co-founder of Quanergy, the company helping cars "see". They chat about the range of potential uses for such powerful tech, and the why to market it, they had to first understand the problems that people need solved. Don't miss this tech-heavy episode of Renegade Thinkers Unite, recorded at CES 2019. Louay shares various ways Quanergy can creatively solve problems! You won’t want to miss this episode! Subscribe on Apple Podcasts- Stitcher - or Podsearch What You’ll Learn A virtual wall - an effective way of protecting the border Quanergy is proposing the creation of a virtual wall on the border of the United States and Mexico. Currently, a physical wall is being proposed to the country. Louay points out that this kind of barrier could disturb the environment. Quanergy has targeted the United States government as its audience to market their technology to, speaking with politicians on both sides of the border protection debate. Using LiDAR, Quanergy creates a dome of protection by setting its giving computers eyes to monitor the border area. LiDAR uses its “eyes” to see anything coming to the border and can allow authorities to be dispatched to the area. A virtual wall addresses the issue of protecting the border but does not create more problems as a physical wall could. Quanergy is a leader in effective technology marketing Quanergy tells and shows customers what they need. They allow customers to observe the product, so they know they want it. Quanergy provides a vision of what customers can do, and how they can solve problems. This creates new markets for its technology. Quanergy’s technology, LiDAR, is marketed to many different industries. Each market has its own experts, so Quanergy uses partners to improve solutions. For example, Quanergy partnered with 6-Watch to help create a virtual surveillance partner for Boston’s police vehicles. 6-Watch was an effective partner because the company is well connected in the law enforcement space, helping Quanergy break into that market with its technology. Creating a culture where it is ok to fail Louay says if your company doesn’t run into things that don’t work, then you are not trying hard enough. Everything is not feasible until someone does it. If a problem is worth addressing, try until you find a solution. Louay creates a company culture where failure and bad news are okay. This gives his employees the ability to take risks and be creative. In order to lead a company where there is the courage to take risks, Louay says he must have an open door policy to hear about issues and ask what can be done solve problems, what have the employees learned and what can be changed. This culture of risk being okay has helped propel Quanergy to the frontline in LiDAR technology as well as marketing technology.
