Sonal Labs is intentionally small. Two founders, a short list of advisors, a handful of upcoming hires in research, engineering and applied programmes. We'll scale when the work makes us.
Founder & CEO
15+ years in engineering leadership, most recently Head of Tech at a UK HealthTech company. Led the hardware design and prototyping of Sonal end-to-end — through to a signed manufacturing contract and shipping production units in 2026.
Built the iOS and Android apps personally, and shipped them into ten languages. Committed his own capital to get Sonal to this point.
Co-founder & CTO
12+ years in software. System architect with a US cybersecurity background; specialist in AI voice and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
Owns the overlap-native model stack and the memory-layer architecture behind Presence AI and Sonal OS.
Our advisors are practitioners in the rooms we build for. They tell us when our work would land — or wouldn't — with a real clinician, a real operator, the person at the other end of the microphone.
Geriatrics Doctor · Cape Medicals
Practising geriatrician. Grounds our healthcare programme in what a doctor and a patient actually need out of a consultation record — including the patient with dementia, the carer who wasn't in the room, and the follow-up that has to be right.
Operations Manager · Amazon
Product and strategy. Keeps us honest about what it takes to run a consumer-hardware operation at scale — supply chain, logistics, and the moment where a research artefact has to survive contact with a million customers.
We don't post public roles. If what we're building sounds like a problem you've been looking for, introduce yourself.
Train the overlap-native base model and the diarisation pipeline. ML research + shipping.
Take a research-grade story to market without making it one. Editorial instincts welcome.
Secure pilot contracts in healthcare and legal. Trust-first sales, not volume.
Own supply chain and manufacturing partners as the wearable line scales.
