NoteThe source directly confirms that Erich Elsen is a co-founder of Adept. The record's start date of 2022 aligns with the source's statement that 'Adept was founded two years ago' (written at an unspecified but recent date). The end date of 2024 is consistent with the source's reporting that Elsen joined Amazon as part of the licensing deal, which appears to be a recent event. All key fields (person, org, role) are explicitly confirmed in the source text.
