Entrepreneur Interview – Think Entrepreneurship interviews Autopilot’s founder Matt McCune

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Matt McCune, founder of Autopilot, Inc. McCune’s company specializes in product design, development, and manufacturing. Autopilot was founded in 2006. They help inventors and businesses take ideas from a simple concept to a finished product ready to sell on the market.

The moment I walked in the Autopilot facility, I noticed how fun, creative, and cool this company is. I was greeted by Matt, who slid down a firepole from the second floor to welcome me to his business. Not sure if it is just me, but any company with a fire pole seems pretty hip to me. Upon meeting Matt, we proceeded into the manufacturing area where they have many large milling machines, parts, and other manufacturing equipment. Everyone I met was so friendly and passionate about what they do at Autopilot.
