Joshua Lamerton — Serial Technology Entrepreneur, Technologist & Investor
Joshua Lamerton is a serial technology entrepreneur, technologist, and investor building companies, infrastructure, and research around major technological transitions. His work spans artificial intelligence, agentic systems, AI infrastructure, search, developer infrastructure, advertising technology, financial technology, real estate, and autonomous commerce. A recurring pattern connects these projects: identify a technological transition, understand what becomes newly possible, find the missing enabling layer, then build or test the infrastructure around it.
