In this brief interview segment, the speaker highlights Trey Moore’s remarkable career milestones. Trey was personally invited by Steve Jobs to be a guest speaker at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, showcasing his early recognition. He created AirStrip, an iPhone app that measured users’ vital signs, which later caught Tim Cook’s attention in 2015, leading to a port of the technology to the Apple Watch. This version became the first FDA‑approved mobile health application and was subsequently deployed in hospitals across the United States and globally. The software was eventually sold to Sequoia Capital, delivering a substantial return, and Trey’s entrepreneurial track record includes an impressive 35 company exits.
