This episode of the NTP Podcast features Brett Thomas, COO of The Melt. Brett recounts his journey from aspiring professional soccer player to founding The Melt, a hardware startup accelerator. After a leg injury ended his soccer career, Brett backpacked internationally for a year before working in surveying and offshore hydrographic positioning. He later helped build out the internet's fiber optic infrastructure during its rapid growth. Brett then joined mining supply chain software startup Qmaster with his current business partner Trent Bagnell. After Qmaster's acquisition, Trent founded the Slingshot startup accelerator. Inspired by Slingshot's success, Brett and Trent opened The Melt's first prototyping lab to support hardware startups. They have since expanded The Melt's network and facilities with various partnerships and grants.
