Quick answers
Did Alexander Luksidadi co-found Rose Rocket?
Yes. The Globe and Mail (2023-06-20) reports that Justin Sky "co-founded Rose Rocket in 2015 with fellow serial entrepreneurs Justin Bailie and chief technology officer Alexander Luksidadi." BetaKit (2021-10-13) names "his co-founders (Alexander Luksidadi and Justin Bailie)" alongside CEO Justin Sky. Y Combinator's company page for Rose Rocket, read 2026-10-17, lists him as "Founder/CTO" in its Summer 2016 batch.
What did Alexander Luksidadi do before Rose Rocket?
The Code Story podcast (2022-04-12) says he "came to Canada in 2002 as an immigrant, with a dream to work for IBM," that he got into programming because his father would not let him become a musician, and that he and a co-founder first tried a freight and logistics business that failed before building the broker software that became Rose Rocket. The SIWIKE podcast (2021-06-20) covers his music, his time in school and "getting a job after 2 years of not getting paid." No fetched page names his employers before Rose Rocket or his school.
Has Alexander Luksidadi spoken at TechTO?
No. Two of his co-founders have. Justin Bailie told the company's story on the TechTO Founder Journey stage on 2024-04-19 ("The Founders Journey (LIVE) ft. Justin Bailie of Rose Rocket"), and Justin Sky, then using the name Justin Hein, presented "The 30M, 300M & 3B startup" at TechTO on 2018-09-26.
Where is Alexander Luksidadi based, and what is his role today?
Y Combinator's company page for Rose Rocket, read 2026-10-17, lists him as "Founder/CTO," and The Globe and Mail called him chief technology officer in June 2023. Rose Rocket's own website has no team page (its about, team and leadership paths returned 404 on 2026-10-17), and no 2025 or 2026 article read for this profile names him, so the header carries only the founder title and the CTO role is dated to those two pages. No fetched page states where he lives; Code Story says only that he came to Canada in 2002, so no city is recorded.
