Christian LaRosa
Co-Founder and CEO
An industrialist and core contributor to the effective accelerationism (e/acc) movement, Christian believes in the potential of breakthrough engineering to radically enhance the boundaries of what life can look like. He is an aerospace engineer and FAA-licensed pilot, having led complex development projects for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and rocket engine development campaigns under sponsorship from RTX. Christian contributed to NASA's Lucy and Psyche spacecraft, the former operated to main-belt trojan asteroid 152830 Dinkinesh on November 2, 2023, resulting in the discovery of a contact binary. During Psyche's lifecycle, Christian led thermal management R&D for lunar seismic data collection with the Marshall Space Flight Center.

Q: What is the most important attribute of leaders today?
Austin Thurman
Co-Founder and COO
At the intersection of violin, baseball, and academics, Austin learned the fundamentals of running a startup without even realizing it. Violin taught him how to take an idea off of a page and make it come to life for an audience. Baseball showed him how to lead even when he wasn’t the best player. Academic rigor gave him the ability to collaborate with the brightest minds. With this inherent preparation for entrepreneurship, he started Rosotics with Christian a month into his freshman year of college. Years later, Austin has hired over 30 engineers, ran finance ops for $2m+ in funding, and executed product launches of the world’s largest metal 3D printers. Exhilarated by the vast applications of Supercreators, he is passionate about creating the most simple, efficient, and limitless way to build massive metal structures.
