Haojie Hu
Haojie Hu is the founder and CEO of LE Robotics (Loyalty Robotics Welding Systems), a Chinese company that fuses AI, 3D vision, and autonomous navigation to build welding robots that read a metal seam and start work in seconds without pre-programming. A second-generation industrialist who trained on his father's factory floor before earning degrees at NYU Stern and Columbia Business School, Hu returned from Wall Street to build what he calls a comprehensive ecosystem service provider for industrial embodied AI in metalworking. He was named to Forbes China's 2023 list of 100 Outstanding Overseas Returnees.
Mohan Sivam
Mohan Sivam is the founder and CEO of Neuralzome Cybernetics, a Bengaluru deeptech startup teaching robots to drive themselves across orchards, farms and job sites no GPS map can describe. His pitch is deceptively plain: robots should learn by watching a human do the job once, not by waiting on a team of PhDs to code every turn. Neuralzome's NeuralPilot autonomy stack, RedPill simulation engine and rugged Jeeno platform aim to put off-road robots to work where labor is scarce and the terrain is unforgiving. In August 2025 the company raised $2.4M in pre-seed funding led by 8X Ventures. A serial builder who previously co-founded Flo Mobility and ran GAMASOME, Sivam describes his mission with a phrase that sticks: making robots sentient.
Tony Rosinol
Tony (Antoni) Rosinol is the co-founder and CEO of StackAI, the no-code platform that lets enterprises build, deploy, and govern custom AI agents. An MIT PhD in computer vision and SLAM, he created the open-source Kimera robotics system before pivoting from teaching robots to see the world to teaching agents to run the back office. He started StackAI with fellow MIT PhD Bernard Aceituno out of Y Combinator's Winter 2023 batch, raised nearly $20M, and in May 2026 sold the company to Asana for $75M, where the founders now build toward an operating system for human-agent teams.
