Ex-Kernel CEO/CTO joins BCI startup Sabi to build thought-to-text wearables
Div_pradeep · x · 2026-09-15
Ryan Field, former CEO/CTO of Kernel (Bryan Johnson's non-invasive BCI company), has left to join Sabi, a BCI startup backed by Khosla Ventures, to build thought-to-text wearables.
Field spent years building Bryan Johnson's massive brain helmets. The poster argues that the CEO of the most-funded non-invasive helmet company jumping to a consumer thought-to-text wearable startup signals the consumer BCI inflection point is arriving faster than expected.
