Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJakub Suchánek is a founder and CEO with nine years of experience turning robotics ideas into revenue and building AI-driven platforms to compress hardware product cycles from years to weeks. He co-founded and scaled tile-grouting robots to mid-six-figure sales across Singapore and Australia before spinning out a simulation-and-AI company (Embody Labs) that aims to make physical product development vibe-codeable. A Cambridge-trained engineer and former Wayve intern, he blends ML research, real-world robotics delivery, and deep domain wins (NASA SpaceApps, Techfest Munich, IOI/Physics medals, Forbes 30 Under 30) with advice from senior industry and academic mentors. Jakub’s edge is insisting simulation-first validation across mechanism, reliability, and human workflows—an approach already piloted with Hilti, Griffin Labs and entering paid projects with Doka and Origin.
