James (Tanachart) Kujareevanich is Co-Founder and CEO at Vision Lab, a YC-backed startup building the industrial data layer that powers next-generation robotics training.

James earned his MBA from MIT Sloan, where he connected with his co-founders, and previously worked as an Operations consultant at McKinsey.

Hailing from Thailand, James identified a critical gap in physical AI: the absence of high-quality, real-world factory data needed to train robotics foundation models.

Vision Lab is a Y Combinator X25 company and has raised $6 million from Silicon Valley investors to scale its global manufacturing partner network.

Vision Lab operates a network of over 2,000 partner factories across Asia and Africa, and participating factories have collectively generated over $1 million in data licensing revenue.
