Get Milan Cvitkovic on Dwarkesh Podcast

Neurotech is breaking out right now, with first-in-human brain interface implants and big new funding rounds hitting in the past few months, and Milan Cvitkovic is in the thick of it as CEO of Integral, a startup building a miniaturized deep-brain interface with Neuralink cofounder Philip “Flip” Sabes as CSO. Hearing Milan explain how this device will record and modulate neural activity, and how Integral is hiring to sprint on implants, RF, and surgical tools, would give listeners a front row seat to the next wave of brain tech.

This matters today because the field just notched major milestones, from CorTec’s first human implantation trial to Neurable’s fresh Series A to push consumer BCIs. Milan can translate what these moves mean for real patients and for the race between invasive and noninvasive approaches, and what is actually possible in 2026 rather than hype.

It would also be his first appearance on the Dwarkesh Podcast, a show known for pushing guests into specifics on engineering, regulation, and timelines. That makes this the perfect venue to pressure test claims and surface the tradeoffs the rest of tech will be reacting to this year.

If you want clear answers on where brain interfaces are headed and why it matters for medicine and AI right now, back this nomination today.
