Join our syndicate on Angel List - or our new startup channel on PropelX!  I'm always looking out for more startups that fit our thesis, and investors who want to get in early. We invest in early stage robotics companies, with strong business model and early mover advantage. Robotics, AI and automation is going to impact on all verticals in the future and our syndicate brings together a lot of robotics experience and deal flow. 

Our first investment Catalia Health just closed Series A round lead by Khosla Ventures.
