#Reading Finally had time for some off screen reading. Building in hardware is so far removed from software-as-a-service. And building in robots and ai is another planet alltogehter. Really appreciate Oliver Mitchell effort to distill some of the hard learned lessons from investing in iRobot and Persona AI and other leaders in the field and give these insights back to startups!

Startups are built to scale what already works. That makes them powerful when the product is clear, the market exists and the path to growth is obvious. Matthew Johnson-Roberson says 10-year research problems are different. In robotics, AI and physical AI, the hardest questions often do not have known answers yet, which can make them a poor fit for venture-backed timelines. #robotics #automation #startups
