In-Home Robotics

Robotics, in the home.

Concept

Robots, in the home.

Longer Description

The vast majority of robotics R&D and deployments have been within industrial or other enterprise centric areas.

Robots are still at the early stages of entering easily deployable physical areas such as warehouses and other commercial areas, however the home will follow. Once you scale the robot up from inches off the ground (think iRobot Roomba scale) there are a lot of opportunities for automation of our daily lives. We’re interested in talking to founders who have a unique POV on what the initial repeated, high-value tasks are that a robot will do in the home.

Other thoughts

  • We’ve been thinking about this thesis for the better part of 5 years now and haven’t found anything very close to being investible. It’s an incredibly capital intensive problem with difficult economics and likely a bit more technical hurdles to get through before being scalable.
