An entire economy fits in your pocket, and almost no one stops to think about it.

Form Factor is a show about the devices and tech we use every day, and the founders building at every stage and corner of the ecosystem: the people who design and make them, get them into your hands, keep them connected, protect them, fix them when they break, and give them a second life when they're traded in or discarded.

From idea to afterlife, and everything in between.

Each episode is a long-form conversation about how a founder got started, how they built their company, and where they think their corner of the world is going. We close each one with The Teardown — the key takeaways and lessons in brief.

All this tech is something we experience every day. The stories behind it all are anything but ordinary.

Hosted by Jared Brier, founder and co-CEO of AKKO.
