Consumer Technology Pioneer Matt Rogers to Share Insights at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024

With a resume that speaks for itself, he co-founded Nest, the home automation startup that sold to Google for $3.2 billion. Now, with his new startup Mill, he’s continuing his mission to bring delight to forgotten parts of our homes.
The Rise of Mill
Mill burst out of the gate last year after spending some time in stealth refining its waste bin, an easy-to-use kitchen accessory that belies the complexity of its hardware and software. This innovative product takes food waste and turns it into compost by breakfast. The resulting grounds can be spread on gardens or sent back to Mill to be used as chicken feed, closing the loop.

Matt Rogers’ newest product is not just a simple kitchen accessory; it’s a complex system that requires sophisticated hardware and software. The secret behind making great consumer products lies in understanding the intricacies of both the technology and the user experience. During our discussion with Matt Rogers, we’ll dive into the secrets behind making great consumer products.
