JoeBen Bevirt is the founder and CEO of Joby Aviation, which is developing aircraft capable of taking off and landing vertically. Raised on an off-the-grid commune in California, as a kid Bevirt dreamed of planes that could maneuver like helicopters, and went on to study engineering at the University of California at Davis and Stanford. He launched Joby in 2009 after first founding Velocity11, which built liquid-handling robots used for testing potential drugs, and the company behind GorillaPod, a flexible camera tripod. He raised funds from the likes of carmaker Toyota, Laurene Powell Jobs' Emerson Collective and Jeff Skoll's Capricorn Investment Group, and took Joby public via SPAC merger in 2021.
