About the Company:

Our client is building the future of home robotics- and it’s closer than you think. Imagine a world where robots handle your most time-consuming chores, giving you back the freedom to spend time with loved ones, pursue your passions, or simply rest.

With a team of engineers and researchers from Tesla, Stanford, DeepMind, and Neuralink and backed by over $30M from top-tier VCs- this Bay Area startup is developing what they believe will be the most advanced home robot on the market.
