Building Virtual Reality Content Faster and Easier Than Ever | David Lähner | Episode #9

Alonso Rondon Tello Season 2 Episode 3

In this episode of the Mind Echo Podcast, I speak with David Lähner, founder & CEO of MindPort — the company behind VR Builder, a no-code toolkit that makes building VR content faster and easier.

David shares his vision for VR’s potential beyond gaming, from medicine to enterprise training. But this conversation also explores how management can be different — including salary transparency, remote-first culture, and giving employees voting rights inside a startup.

We cover:

  • The untapped potential of VR in medicine, training & enterprise
  • The case of VR helping burn victims reduce pain
  • How VR Builder enables co-creation between experts & developers
  • The role of AI in immersive 3D experiences
  • Fairness, transparency & voting rights as part of MindPort’s DNA
  • Startup fundraising challenges after the metaverse hype

If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, immersive tech, or modern management, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration.
