Jake Loosarian is the founder of Gecko Robotics and a Grove City Alumni, he graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. During his time at Grove City College he started a campaign to raise money for a need based scholarship by biking across the country. His Entrepreneurial journey began at Grove City where he started creating robots that were made to examine and fix problems in power plants where humans would have trouble reaching like boilers and nuclear reactors. Jake got into the Y Combinator for his company Gecko Robotics and partnered with fellow alumni Troy Demmer. Gecko Robotics has raised 123 million USD and is estimated to be worth anywhere from 500 million to 1 Billion USD. The company has seen success because a considerably portion of America’s infrastructure and power plants are old and have problems that Gecko can help fix safely through the use of their robots.The ability to inspect problems that would be dangerous for humans and provide companies more data has led to Gecko robotics success. This success started at Grove City College by a student who would go on to build a billion dollar company it provides inspiration for students to realize their potential when they dream big and provide innovative solutions.
