Robotics

When investors compare hardware and software startups, they often focus on production costs and margins.

Why Investors Can’t Ignore Time-to-Market in Hardware Startups? In software, a two-week sprint can change everything. In hardware, those same two weeks barely get you through supplier negotiations.

Prototyping, tooling, and early manufacturing runs require significant upfront capital. Cash can burn faster than many investors expect before the first sale is made.

The debate between launching a show-stopping humanoid or building quietly through modular platforms is more than a matter of engineering style; it’s a strategic fork in the road.

The construction sector is grappling with a critical paradox: rising demand for affordable, sustainable housing amid a shrinking skilled workforce and escalating project costs. Against this backdrop, automation and robotics are emerging not as speculative technologies of the future but as pragmatic tools for transforming the way homes are built today.

Industrial robotics is entering a new phase; one where code is written, tested and perfected in the cloud long before a bolt is tightened on the factory floor.

From household tools to industrial cobots, robotics is quietly reshaping work by enabling human strengths.

A message for our future partners, collaborators, and fellow builders.

This article explores how to determine the right time to scale, based on product type, business model, and market conditions.

While AI and software dominate headlines, the real-world impact of robotics depends on one thing: hardware.
