Joshua Carter

Joshua Carter is the Co-Founder and CEO of Aperia Technologies, a Hayward, California-based cleantech company he helped launch in 2010 after spinning out technology from Stanford University. Under his leadership, Aperia developed the Halo Tire Inflator - a self-powered, bolt-on automatic tire inflation system that uses a wheel's own rotation to maintain optimal tire pressure on commercial trucks and trailers. The company has logged over 100 billion miles with the Halo system, saved more than 716,000 metric tons of CO2, and secured over $148 million in total funding, including a $45 million growth equity round in 2023. In 2025, Aperia signed an exclusive automatic tire inflation agreement with Goodyear for its Tires-as-a-Service platform. Carter holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from UC Santa Barbara and an MS in Design Methodology from Stanford University.
