I'm Matt Mireles, an American technology entrepreneur and investor.

I am the founder/CEO of TalkTastic - an AI-powered speech-to-text tool for macOS that works like an Instagram filter for speech.

In my spare time, I invest and occasionally advise visionary technology companies like Monumental Labs, Crusoe Energy, Pelago Health, Nuvocargo, C16 Bio and Persephone Biome.

Previously, I co-founded Oasis, a photorealistic avatar video chat company backed by Founders Fund that physically melted iPhones and burned Sam Altman’s hand during a product demo.

I also co-founded Dishcraft Robotics, maker of dishwashing robots for restaurants that raised $50M, and SpeakerText, a hybrid human + AI speech-to-text service acquired by CloudFactory and backed by Google Ventures.

Before tech, I paid my way through Columbia University as 911 paramedic in New York City's South Bronx, fought wildfires on a hotshot crew in the American West, and freelanced as a journalist for the New York Times and Newsweek.
