About Our Founder
Michael Potas, Boost Design’s General Manager, previously founded technology startup companies related to sports, audio, entertainment and software, and worked with numerous others. He has developed partnerships to fund research and development, and is the author and/or inventor of numerous patents. Michael also conducts University guest lectures on topics that include innovation, technology start-ups, intellectual property, and commercialisation strategy, and speaks at start-up events about Boost Design’s specialised programs for new start-ups. He has acted as a technology IP expert witness in addition to conducting technology due diligence activities for banks on potential investment opportunities.
In a prior role at Nanosonics, Michael Potas founded the engineering team and led the research and development of their complex medical device technology from working concept through to a successful global product. With an engineering team that grew to approximately 25 people, Michael was responsible for electronics, software, firmware, mechanical engineering, science, and intellectual property development. As part of the executive team, he worked closely with sales, marketing, regulatory, manufacturing, service and support teams helping to ensure the long term success of the business, and travelled globally to align product development activities with customer needs across different markets. In 2016, Nanosonics exceeded a $1b valuation on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX:NAN), underpinned by the sales results for the product that Michael’s team developed. Michael also won an award from the Warren Center for Advanced Engineering for his work at Nanosonics.
Our vision is to build a design company that Clients desire to work with, and Innovators want to work for, and to leave the world better than how we found it.
