CEO
Coco
Rash, a co-founder and the chief executive of robot delivery platform Coco, founded the company when he was a student at UCLA. The company has raised more than $63 million to date, according to PitchBook, from the likes of OpenAI’s Sam Altman and the Founders Fund. Coco has net partnerships with food delivery platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash. The company is just one of several that call Los Angeles home – Serve Robotics, despite being a Bay Area company, operates exclusively in Los Angeles. Coco’s home territory advantage has proven to be useful – the varied sidewalks of different Los Angeles neighborhoods have allowed the company to develop computer vision models that can accommodate construction, slick roads and complicated delivery instructions.
