In today’s episode, I sit down with Christopher Gustave, founder of Oma Mirrors, to talk about how a self-taught Navy veteran turned problem-solving into a breakthrough in beauty tech. What started as a DIY gift for his sister evolved into an AI-enabled smart mirror that blends software, hardware, and culture. We get into his path from military service to coding, the realities of building hardware overseas, and why integrating music, art, and retail into the platform opens new doors. Christopher also shares how he’s thinking about funding, product-market fit, and scaling a product that keeps evolving alongside AI.
