Rom Clément

Shoutout to Rom Clément, the dude’s a straight-up tech beast. He’s part of YC W20, so he’s been in the game for a minute, and trust me, his path is wild but super inspiring.

Rom’s been around the block, man. Started out at big names like Google and Lyft, so he’s not just some random hacker, he’s been in the trenches at top-tier companies, understanding what makes tech tick. Before that, he did his thing at O3B Networks and even hit up Turbomeca and AREVA, yeah, those are some heavy industrial and aerospace players. It’s like he’s been collecting skills from all these hardcore industries, which is kinda rare for a startup founder.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Instead of just riding the corporate wave, Rom jumped into the startup world big time. He’s now the Co-Founder and CTO at Teleo, a YC-backed startup, and they’re all about supervised autonomous heavy equipment. Think huge machinery that can kinda operate itself but still under human supervision. That’s some advanced tech, right? And he’s not just messing around, he’s leading the tech charge, making sure those heavy machines crush it on automation.

What does this say about him? Rom’s all about pushing boundaries. His process shows he’s got mad curiosity and a real drive to build stuff that actually moves the needle. He’s not just doing tech for tech’s sake, he’s solving real-world problems. Starting Teleo isn’t just about jumping into a new gig; it’s about taking everything he’s learned from aerospace, big tech, and networking, and applying that to build the future of heavy industry automation.

Honestly, Rom’s story is the kind of thing that screams ‘he’s here to change shit.’ He’s got the experience, the grit, and the vision. From big corporate labs to the startup grind, he’s proof that if you wanna do something big, you gotta jump in, learn fast, and stay relentless. No Cap, this guy’s gonna be a big deal in the tech and industrial space.
