Chris Van Dyke is co-founder and CEO of Overview AI, a San Francisco company that builds edge AI cameras for manufacturing defect detection. He previously led Tesla's Supercharger program. In 2018 he founded Overview with fellow Tesla alumni Russell Nibbelink, Xiaoyang Kao and Austin Appel after concluding existing machine vision tools took too long to deploy on factory floors. Overview's cameras now run in more than 100 factories, including plants for Toyota and Honda. The company has raised $13.9 million from investors including Y Combinator, GV and Blumberg Capital.
