“AI & Web3 Founder Building Cognition for Robotics | Consciousness-Informed Leadership | Leadership from Hardship | Governance | Resilience”
I’m Lisa Cheng, a frontier tech founder and architect working at the intersection of AI cognition, autonomy, and governance. I started in Bitcoin in 2013 and have spent the last decade building and shipping in emerging markets where the rules change fast and the consequences of weak controls show up early. Today I co build Loosh AI, focused on cognition infrastructure for agents and robotics: structured memory, multimodal understanding, and values aware decision layers that help systems behave safely in the real world.
My strongest value as a guest is translation. I can make complex topics like autonomous agents, AI memory, stablecoins, and decentralized compute understandable without dumbing them down, and I bring an operator’s lens on what actually breaks in production: misaligned incentives, brittle systems, and governance gaps. I also speak candidly about resilience and rebuilding after setbacks, and how inner work and consciousness exploration through the Monroe Institute and the Hoffman Process changed how I lead, communicate, and design technology that serves people.
If your audience cares about AI trends, entrepreneurship, Web3 beyond speculation, leadership under pressure, or the future of robotics and human machine collaboration, I’ll deliver a grounded, high signal conversation.
