Evan Beard is a founder-engineer who has spent nine years building companies that turn software into large-scale products, currently leading Standard Bots as co-founder, CEO and chief engineer to make AI-native, no-code industrial robots widely accessible. His teams have deployed robots at Lockheed Martin, Verizon and NASA while raising hundreds of millions from investors like General Catalyst and Amazon’s Industrial Innovation Fund. Earlier exits include Etacts (acquired by Salesforce) and A Plus, a media startup he scaled to 46M monthly readers and $5M+ run-rate before sale. Comfortable writing low-level, event-driven systems (managing tens of thousands of IMAP connections) and high-level product strategy, he blends hands-on engineering with operator-level product vision. A Duke grad with a CS minor, he’s spoken before Congress and on major stages about robotics and AI, and still describes himself on GitHub as a “#Linux / #Nerd” who makes “bleep bloop” for the internet.
