Summary
🤩
RockstarIan Laffey is a technology founder and CEO with seven years of engineering experience, based in San Francisco, who moved from CTO to CEO at Theseus to commercialize a sub-300 g payload that delivers drift-free absolute positioning with under 50 m accuracy on 50+ km ArduPilot flights. He pairs hands-on embedded and avionics expertise with software product experience—having built embedded payments APIs and internal treasury apps—and is a Y Combinator S24 alum. A McGill-trained software engineer with a minor in economics, Ian bridges hardware, firmware, and cloud/API stacks to turn experimental flight tech into deployable products.
