How we work
Machines do the reading. Partners make the calls.
We are building a research system for the robot economy. Two partners meet founders, ask hard questions and stay close after we invest.
Sourcing, selecting, supporting
Three jobs, done the same way every time.
01 · Sourcing
We follow all five stages.
New companies, funding rounds, launches, standards and policy across the robot economy. We meet founders through programs, labs, customers and our own research.
For founders
You don't need an introduction. A cold note through the form is welcome.
02 · Selecting
Same questions, evidence attached.
What does the customer pay for today? What happens if the robot maker bundles it? Which rights does the product depend on? Every company gets the same questions, and the answers keep their sources.
For founders
Expect specific questions about your customers, your rights and your costs.
03 · Supporting
Close to the work after we invest.
First customers, hiring, the next round and the robot makers your product depends on.
For founders
Evidence
Every fact keeps its source.
When we publish a number, you can see where it came from and when. Our research keeps the source, the date and how it was checked behind every fact, and we label estimates and forecasts as what they are.
