Interview With The 2022 TITAN Business Awards Winner \u2013 Leo Trottier<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please provide us with a brief bio of yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a unique blend of cognitive scientist, software engineer, product designer and  entrepreneur. I am the founder and CEO of CleverPet, a startup that uses smart hardware to teach pets automatically through advanced cognitive and behavioral science techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an alumnus of San Diego’s EvoNexus and the Qualcomm Robotics Accelerator (powered by Techstars). I have a degree in cognitive science and A.I. program at the University of Toronto and started CleverPet while a PhD candidate at UC San Diego. Before CleverPet, I ran Scholarpedia, Wikipedia\u2019s academic equivalent, where I worked with Nobel Laureates to “wikify scholarly canons.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your role in the company?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am the founder and CEO of FluentPet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please tell us more about your organization.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FluentPet designs and creates programmable HexTile button systems that enrich the lives of animals within our homes and create deeper relationships with their human companions through a shared language. We offer a range of FluentPet kits that enable our teachers (customers) to expand their system as their learner (dog or cat) progresses. In January 2022, we announced the next iteration of our product, FluentPet Connect, a new WiFi-connected smart system for advancing communication and deepening the connection between people and their animal companions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe the industry your organization is specialized in, as well as its main characteristics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AWe operate within the burgeoning pet tech industry. We leverage the latest in technology and apply scientific research findings to create automated devices to deepen relationships between dogs, cats and their human companions. By using technology, we can better connect and care for our animals and enrich their lives just as much as they enrich ours. We narrow the communication gap between animals and their humans, enabling us to better care for and connect with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to other minds, we\u2019ve barely scratched the surface of what\u2019s possible. Our tools are designed to enrich the lives of\u2026 (Read more at TITAN Business Awards<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
