SPEAKER: Richard Margolin CTO at Highwire Capital
TOPIC: Engineering Entrepreneur: Past, Present, and Future
Brief Description: Richard Margolin, a successful serial entrepreneur since aged 13. He went from developing a design business around duct tape, to robotics to fostering environments where innovation thrives and industries are reshaped. Richard will discuss how each business experience led to the next and to his success as an entrepreneur.
Bio: Tech wizard Richard Margolin was named last year to Dallas Innovate’s first-ever AI 75 list, a partnership with the Dallas Regional Chamber and Dallas AI recognizing the most innovative people in artificial intelligence in North Texas. The honor was richly deserved, as Margolin has long been a leading-edge innovator
Currently he’s CTO at Dallas-based Highwire Capital, where he builds AI tools for evaluating investment deals for middle-market businesses. He joined the strategy-based consulting and private-equity firm in 2024. Previously, he co-founded—and, until 2023, was CEO of—Dallas-based RoboKind, an EdTech company that designs and builds facially expressive robots that facilitate learning for STEM education and individuals with autism.
He’s also a Forbes Technology Council member, a 2017 Tech Titan, and a 2019 winner of EY’s regional Entrepreneur Of The Year award.
