Launch Lab

I build what AI can't.

I'm Rob Hudson

I'm a technical founder looking for cofounders.

I build complex software — integrations, real-time systems, platforms that touch the physical world. I work with domain experts to validate and build ventures. Most ideas get killed fast. The ones that work become companies.

Equity, not invoices. Cofounders, not contractors.

What I Bring

Technical Execution

Full-stack development, cloud architecture (Azure), microservices, IoT/edge computing. I build complex systems that work.

Scale Experience

I've built platforms handling millions of packages per week. Real-time tracking, carrier integrations, warehouse automation. SOC 2 Type II certified.

Founder Track Record

Last-Mile Delivery Platform

Founded in 2000. Grew to 45 US markets. Bootstrapped to profitability and exited in 2016.

Industrial Logistics Platform

Co-founded and built the entire technology stack. Edge computing, warehouse automation, carrier integrations. Scaled to millions of packages per week for TikTok, Temu, and major retailers.

I know what it takes to build something valuable.

Who I'm Looking For

Domain Expertise

You know an industry deeply. You've experienced the pain firsthand. You understand the players, the workflows, the buying process.

Market Access

You can reach the first 10 customers. You have a network, a reputation, or a distribution channel that gets us in the door.

Go-To-Market Capability

You'll own sales, marketing, and customer development. I build, you sell — that's the partnership.

Hard Problems

Your problem involves integrations, coordination, or real-world complexity — not something a simple app or AI tool can solve.
