Aaron Cannon (he/him/his)

Co-Founder & CEO
Outset

Aaron Cannon is the CEO and co-founder of Outset, the professional-grade platform for AI-moderated research. He co-founded Outset in 2022 with a clear thesis: that qualitative research shouldn't require choosing between depth and scale — and that AI could close that gap permanently. Before Outset, Aaron spent a decade building products at the intersection of technology and human behavior. He led product at Untapped and Triplebyte, and held senior product roles at Tesla and Pebble. He began his career as a strategy consultant at Monitor Deloitte and Doblin, working closely with Fortune 500 companies on new product development. Aaron is a regular voice at research and insights events, bringing a practitioner's perspective on what AI-moderated methods actually make possible. He's based in San Francisco.
