Founder and driving force behind the vision of creating independent verification infrastructure for humanoid robotics. Brings the core insight that lab testing is insufficient—real-world chaos in retail environments is where robots actually need to prove themselves.
Strategic Vision: Identified the opportunity within China's 1+1+N Framework and positioned Living Proof Labs as the Hospitality & Retail vertical training ground
Business Model Innovation: Developed the three-revenue-stream model (validation contracts, tooling partnerships, cafe operations) that makes the economics work
Ecosystem Building: Understands how to position as the neutral trust layer between hardware makers, software developers, and venue operators
Sausalito Connection: Owns a home in Sausalito, CA and plans to retire there. This creates a natural geographic anchor for West Coast operations and makes the strategic partnership with Kieran particularly relevant—both personal relationship and business development can happen in the same location where Aaron will eventually be based full-time.
This dual presence (Switzerland for European/Asian operations, Sausalito for US expansion) positions Living Proof Labs to operate globally while maintaining strong local roots in key robotics hubs.
