It's a decent talent grab: Gabe Sibley of Zippy is a world-class state-estimation guy, formerly at Zoox, a SV self-driving startup, a professor at U Colorado at Boulder, postdoc with Newman's robot/driving group at Oxford, CS PhD @ USC.
You probably know the bios of interesting people in your area too, right?
As a middle-aged CS/AI prof I know the outline bios of hundreds of people thanks to having worked at a bunch of places and written a bazillion paper, grant, promotion and tenure reviews.

(I'm not Sibley and have no conflict of interest: just work in related areas).
