Ian Kiku

Founder / CTO · Team Nebula AI · Austin, TX

Based in Austin, TX — entrepreneur and community builder working to make this city the AI capital of the world, one brick at a time, one person at a time.

AI is the most valuable technology in human history. Everyone belongs here — whether you build with it, want to understand it, or are just getting started. Through workshops, meetups, and Claude Ambassador events, I bring people along.

Austin already has the ingredients: live music capital, self-driving cars, growing defense and hard tech. What's next is attracting the capital, talent, and brilliance from outside to build here.

Along the way I build production agent systems at Team Nebula AI, and build AI agent products through Agents Authority.

I founded CTO Copilot as an embedded AI engineering practice. It is now merged into Team Nebula AI, where I lead the technical work across agent systems, products, and the operating infrastructure around them.
