"When I first met Fadell and Rogers above a store above the Town and Country Village Mall across from Stanford, the two were on a quest to build internet-connected home devices at their startup Nest. They didn't know me, but they let me in, and that act of generosity changed my career. "I'm gonna show you something, but you have to promise not to write about it. Yet," Tony said at that first meeting 15 years ago."
"A lot has changed since we first met. After the Google exit, Matt started a group called Incite that tackles climate change. And he worked on transportation policy with former US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Some things stay the same, though. At Mill, Matt is trying to make food waste sexy (like an iPhone) through a high-tech trash can that turns your uneaten scraps into sweet-smelling powdery sediment."
Matt Rogers founded Mill to transform in-home food waste recycling through consumer-focused design and engineering. The Mill device processes uneaten food scraps into lightweight, sweet-smelling, odorless powdery grounds intended for reuse. The product aims to make household waste management more convenient and attractive by applying consumer electronics sensibilities to a kitchen appliance. Mill's technology could reduce municipal garbage collection costs and lower environmental impacts from organic waste in cities. Rogers previously co-founded Nest, launched climate group Incite, and worked on transportation policy, bringing hardware experience and climate-focused priorities to Mill's development and market strategy.
