A Coca-Cola innovation director who became Space Pirate Zero, and an Emmy-nominated CNN producer who became a fashion-tech CEO. Together, Greg & Daniela Chambers ship six AI-native products from one home office in Atlanta — zero venture capital, zero permission. Read the whole file.
Founder & CTO · Enterprise AI Strategist · Multi-Patent Inventor
He runs Spaceship Alpha 9 out of a home office and calls himself Space Pirate Zero — the founder and CTO shipping six AI-native products on zero venture capital. No board. No permission slips. Just a crew of two and a ship that keeps launching things bigger studios said couldn't be done alone.
Before the pirate flag, he wore the suit. As Global Group Director of Digital Innovation at Coca-Cola, he taught one of the largest companies on Earth to think like software — pushing conversational AI into physical vending across 15,000+ stores worldwide. An 8% sales lift. Roughly $600M in incremental revenue a year. Forbes, Fortune, and the BBC came running.
He doesn't just ship software — he builds the impossible in public. He engineered the world's first 3D robotic billboard: 1,760 LED cubes moving independently over Times Square, and set a Guinness World Record doing it. He holds two U.S. patents in AI and security — including the personalized-treatment intelligence engine behind Therabody — then went on to architect the Apple Silicon AI clusters powering Apple Intelligence, Epic Games, and OpenAI.
And there's the quieter file. A parallel life in threat intelligence: dark-web reconnaissance, legendary OSINT and SIGINT tradecraft, and authorized red team operations alongside major security research collectives. His rule is simple — you can't defend a system you've never tried to break.
Now he points all of it at products people actually feel. Between releases he writes investigative AI journalism and produces cosmic lo-fi under the same alias. Same person, louder hair.
“The Tiffany lamp, not the fluorescent tube. If your product doesn't make someone feel something, you built a spreadsheet with a login page.”
Zero venture capital.
Zero permission.
Co-Founder & CEO, StyleLift · Emmy-Nominated Producer
She spent years inside the machine at CNN as an Emmy-nominated producer — building stories that reached millions and learning, frame by frame, exactly what makes a person stop scrolling and actually care. The newsroom taught her the only lesson that matters: the gap between information and emotion is where everything happens.
Then she walked out of broadcast and into fashion-tech, and never looked back. Fashion, she realized, is a data problem wearing a beautiful disguise — sizes that lie, algorithms that guess, closets full of mistakes. So she decided to fix the guessing.
As co-founder and CEO of StyleLift, she's building the first wardrobe-aware AI shopping platform — a 512-dimensional style DNA that understands what you already own, what fits your body, your budget, and you. Not another recommendation engine bolting ads onto guesswork. A stylist that actually knows your closet.
She leads a product built for how humans actually get dressed — messy mornings, real bodies, real money. The tech is just the part that finally made it possible.
“Every woman deserves a personal stylist. AI just made it possible to give her one.”
Six products in the hold — all built here, all in flight.
The AI stylist that learns what you actually like.
The open-source VM manager that makes Docker Desktop look expensive.
Kubernetes for humans. Not for consultants.
Turn foot traffic into brand fanatics.
They watch everything. Now you watch back.
Suno gives you stems. Osmix gives you a session.
Key moments in the Spaceship Alpha 9 trajectory.
The indie studio goes live — six AI-native products across consumer apps, developer tools, games, and infrastructure. All bootstrapped.
Greg and Daniela Chambers co-found the first wardrobe-aware AI shopping platform. Five intelligence layers, zero guesswork.
Engineered the AI personalization engine for Theragun. Two U.S. patents filed. Fast Company Most Innovative Company.
Deployed the world's first 3D robotic billboard — 1,760 independently moving LED cubes. A Guinness World Record.
AI-driven personalization to 15,000+ stores globally. 8% sales lift, ~$600M/year incremental. Forbes, Fortune, BBC.
Every SA9 product exists because we needed it first. Dogfooding isn't a phase — it's the entire methodology. The best software comes from builders who use their own tools every day and get furious when something is slow, ugly, or dishonest.
We study Fitts's Law, cognitive load theory, and somatic markers — then we make it look like a cyberpunk anime. The Tiffany lamp, not the fluorescent tube. Friction creates meaning. We build for resonance, not extraction.
No dark patterns. No engagement traps. No notification spam engineered to exploit dopamine loops. We build tools, not traps.
