Finally revealing the results of all the hard work the @warerobotics team has put in. We've come a long way over the last 5 mo's since our pre-seed (led by @BloombergBeta). Peep the video we produced w/ @cevalogistics and see how our warehouse automation system works! 🤖

Yes I asked them all to contact their parents so I could get signed waivers, then met all five sets of their parents at different metro stations across Tokyo during my trip. It was exhausting but so glad I did the right thing!

A startup just posted this Chief-of-Staff (CoS) role with these responsibilities. If you actually fit these then you really, truly, honestly should just start your own company because at this point you're essentially the CEO.

$131K of net-new bookings just today at @warerobotics. I usually keep quiet about all our startup wins but the world needs to know. This tech is real & is delivering actual value to warehouses. Indoor Drones + IoT + CV + Cloud/Edge = just what the supply chain doc ordered 📦

It's ludicrous realizing the world's largest brands don't even know how much inventory they have in their own warehouses. In the past 2 decades, facility sizes have grown rapidly but processes have remained stagnant, creating massive gaps. This is what we're solving @warerobotics

2013: $5.5k & dozens of hrs researching, buying components globally, programming flight controller + gimbal firmware, many more hrs soldering, enlisting dad's help (NASA engineer), & even installing an "unplanned landing in water" floatation device. Still not as good as 1st Mavic

Eagle View has been clamoring for drone tech for years to automate roof inspections (at least since 2015/16). They probably talked to every drone company out there about this and @SkydioHQ is the one who could finally deliver.
We are thrilled to announce a multi-year, multi-million dollar partnership with @EagleViewTech resulting in the largest commercial drone deployment ever! @SkydioHQ is disrupting residential roof inspection forever with the power autonomous drones! lnkd.in/gKh8Uhx

This data shows why we had such success at @DroneDeploy — giving away powerful software for free to hobbyists, letting them experiment & see what's possible commercially. Business use cases permeated into their day jobs. Taking a similar approach at @warerobotics for warehousing.
Many industry veterans have countless stories of drone hobbyists using their personal drone for work. We've found that 68% of all drone programs were founded through such unofficial means. We explore the data here - droneanalyst.com/2021/01/21/…

2013: what near state-of-the-art drone tech looked like. $5.5k & 40+ hrs of labor. Soldering, programming, sourcing/cobbling together components. Very DIY.
One of most impactful changes today is ubiquity of onboard compute in off-the-shelf platforms (DJI/Skydio) & SDKs/APIs.

It's been pleasantly surprising to be fundraising for the first time and getting such quick responses from VCs on meetings/intros. Not sure if that's a product of years of efficiency on their part (likely) or a reflection of what we're building at @warerobotics (🤞).

The Global Warehousing Robotics market is expected to grow at 12% CAGR to $9.5B by 2027. Seems low.
We're seeing incredible interest @warerobotics from global orgs wanting to integrate automation into their facilities—driven by the extreme growth of E-comm + labor shortages.

One of my fave COVID success stories (besides Ware): guy in my neighborhood in SF had to leave his job at a coffee shop. Started roasting beans in his garage down the street during pandemic, selling to passerbys. Now just saw him being carried on the shelf in Luke's grocery.
