Aaron Cheung

Aaron Cheung is Adora Cheung’s brother and co-founder in PathJoy and Homejoy, as discussed in Adora Cheung on Homejoy, YC, Vote-by-Mail, and Instalab. The episode credits him with strong customer-acquisition, ad-funnel, and customer-acquisition-cost work during Homejoy’s early growth.

His role matters to the source because Homejoy began from a practical cleaning problem he experienced and then became a broader marketplace experiment. The episode also notes an investor-dynamics issue: even when Adora was CEO and could answer the questions, some investors addressed Aaron instead, leading her to attend some meetings without him so investors would focus on her leadership.
