# Anthony Prats > Co-Founder and CPO at Verve Market Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/anthonyprats From creating lovable robot sidekicks to defining the future of food, I am a product leader with over a decade of experience building category-defining hardware and software products. I have founded teams, founded companies and—as a former Designer turned PM—approach Product with a serious sense of craft. ## Work Experience ### Co-Founder and CPO @ Verve Market Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States ### Lead Product Manager, Robotics & Automation @ ATOMS Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco, CA Owned robotics and automation products at the company, managing 5 active product lines. CloudKitchens is a ghost kitchen startup run by Travis Kalanick that provides smart facilities to both aspiring and industry food operators. They design and develop real estate, hardware, and software products that enable customers to build the best food businesses. ### Lead Product Manager, Human-Robot Interaction @ Google Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Mountain View, California, United States Founded the Human-Robot Interaction team at Everyday Robots, a Google project building a new type of robot, one that could learn by itself to help anyone with anything. At Everyday Robots, I explored and productized the future of human-robot interaction (HRI) and AI, leveraging various technologies from large language models (LLM) to animation to create delightful and sticky product experiences. ### Founding Product Manager @ Cana Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area Employee #2 at a deep tech / consumer hardware startup incubated by David Friedberg of the Production Board (Alphabet-backed) and the All-In podcast. Cana is building the world’s first molecular beverage printer—redefining how beverages and their brands are created, personalized, and experienced. Think the Star Trek Replicator with a twist of Spotify. At Cana, I created an entirely-new category of product, developing physical hardware, mobile apps, embedded software, a virtual economy, and subscription services to support it. As the Founding Product Manager, I took the product from zero to one, owning vision, design, and definition. As we scaled, my focus centered on cross-functional leadership, management, and strategy as I wrangled an emerging technology into a category-defining new product. ### Product Manager @ Anki Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area One of the first 50 employees at a consumer robotics & gaming startup backed by Andreessen Horowitz and Index Ventures. I joined shortly after Stealth and scaled with the company through Series D+. At Anki, I created enchanting, interactive products through robotics and AI, leveraging the power of mobile gaming and storytelling to drive delightful physical and digital experiences. As the first PM at Anki, I built product processes and principles into the organization and owned three global product lines—Cozmo, Overdrive, and Drive—leading a team to ship over 50 features and boosting Amazon ratings by 30% worldwide (Cozmo was a top-selling Christmas toy 3 years in a row). ### Designer @ Anki Jan 2014 – Jan 2017 ## Education ### Master of Science in Product Development Carnegie Mellon University ### Bachelor of Science University of Florida ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/aprats --- Source: https://flows.cv/anthonyprats JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/anthonyprats/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-05
