However, the source text does not specify his role as 'Co-Founder & CTO' - it only lists him among the founders. The startDate of 2021 is confirmed as the company founding year, but no specific personnel start date is mentioned. The roleType 'key-person' is reasonable given founder status but is not explicitly stated in the source.
