INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Robotics and automation tools are now foundational parts of warehouses and manufacturing facilities around the world
Unlike many other robotics and AI use cases, the technology has moved well beyond the theoretical into practice and is used by small
manufacturing to fulfillment to shipping and logistics
to redefine different verticals, even with many of the existing leaders having already staked their claim
Naturally, VCs are plenty eager to invest millions in the technology
In 2019 alone, manufacturing, machinery and automation saw roughly 800-900 venture-backed fundraising rounds, according to data from
Pitchbook and Crunchbase, close to two-thirds of which were still early-stage (pre-seed to Series B) investments.With our 2020 Robotics+AI
see which trends are coming down the pipe and where checks are actually being written
Just as we did with construction robotics last week, this time, we asked seven leading VCs who actively invest in manufacturing automation
manufacturing/warehouse automation robotics from an investing perspective?
