Paolo Tiramani
Paolo Tiramani is an American industrial designer.[2] Currently he is C.E.O and majority shareholder of Boxabl,[3][4][5] and also C.E.O. of technology investment fund 500 Group Inc.[6]
Personal life and education[edit]
Born and formally schooled in London, England, Tiramani holds degrees in mechanical engineering and industrial design and is an alumnus of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.[7]
He now resides in the U.S. and is an American citizen.[8]
Career[edit]
In 1986, Tiramani founded investment technology company 500 Group in Connecticut, to monetize some of the reported 155 patent filings he held in the United States and Europe.[9][10][11] One early project was the sale of the rights to develop a rolling workshop tool storage unit to American toolmaker Stanley Black & Decker.[10]
In 2014, Tiramani won a Bronze A' Design Award in the Milan, Italy-based A' Design Award and Competition, for his SuperCar System customer-configurable automotive system.[12]
In 2016, a USA Today feature reporting on then-candidate Donald Trump's limited support from tech businesses quoted Tiramani as supporting policies to create small business tech jobs for US workers.[13] Later in 2016, Tiramani moved to Las Vegas.[14]
In 2017, he moved 500 Group to North Las Vegas from Connecticut, reportedly for its more entrepreneurial business climate and lower taxes.[10] The first company Tiramani launched under 500 Group was Supercar System, a modular performance automotive system for the powersports market, based on Tiramani's A' Design award-winning project.[10] The company built a 20,000-square-foot R&D facility at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to develop the system, and test prototypes.[10]
Boxabl[edit]
Later in 2017, Tiramani self-funded and launched his second 500 Group company, Boxabl, a manufacturer of $50,000 modular homes that fold up small enough to ship without a special permit, and can be assembled on site in under an hour.[15] The modular design was based on technology patented by Tiramani, along with technology co-patented by Boxabl Senior Engineer Kyle Denman.[16][17] Tiramani's son Galiano Tiramani was Boxabl's co-founder.[18]
In July 2021, Tiramani moved Boxabl into a 170,000 square foot headquarters in North Las Vegas.[19] A second factory was under construction as of August 2022, and the company reportedly had a wait list of over 130,000 customers.[14]
