Interview with Matteo Franceschetti

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Matteo Franceschetti. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of Eight Sleep, the world's leading sleep enhancement company. Eight Sleep developed a proprietary technology called the Pod that enhances sleep performance and is currently used by pro athletes and top performers across multiple industries to fall asleep faster and get more restful sleep. The end goal of the Pod is to compress sleep and scan your body while asleep to monitor your health. Eight Sleep was named one of Fast Company's "Most Innovative Companies" in 2018, recognized as one of TIME's "Best Inventions" in 2018 and 2019, and has raised $70M in funding from leading investors, including Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, YCombinator, Craft Ventures, 8VC, Naval and Patrick Collison. Prior to Eight, Matteo co-founded and led GIR (acquired in 2014) and Global Investment (acquired 2011). Both companies were in cleantech.Matteo holds multiple patents in tech and health, is a Member of the Forbes Technology Council, has been Co-Chair at FWD.us, and Mentor at Techstars, Microsoft Bizpark and the NYU Summer Launchpad Program. He graduated magna cum laude with a Law degree from University of Ferrara, and was a member of the Italian Bar Association while working as a lawyer in the finance practice of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Allen & Overy, both part of the Magic Circle of British's elite law firms.In this episode, Matteo dives deep into the world of sleep with a ton of helpful tips! First, we talk about the relationship between sleep and athletic performance. Then Matteo gives us tips on improving REM, what to do to enhance your sleep in general, and what not to do before bed. Matteo also emphasizes the importance of heart rate variability and sunlight when it comes to sleep and health. Last, Matteo gives his sometimes hard-to-swallow lesson for today's youth: life is not always easy. As always, if you got value from today's conversation, please let us know by subscribing and sharing the show.
