Happy to share this article by @lorakolodny in @CNBC about PaintJet's journey and approach to solving the labor shortage in the construction and maintenance industry. We've been working to revolutionize the way buildings and ships are painted, and with the power of AI and our fleet of robotic painters, we've already covered over 1.5M square feet in less than three years. We are immensely grateful for the hard work, vision, and commitment of our dedicated team and the support of our partners and investors. Read the full article here: cnbc.com/2023/10/18/pai…

Painful game to watch in-the-flesh but super happy I got to spend the day with my son. Makes the loss sting less and puts things in perspective #weare #PennState

@MartinGTobias Or the paint that’s sprayed on ships that’s designed to kill all life forms it comes in to contact with?

About 15 mos ago we led @PaintJet239367 seed round. Today, after a year of 6x revenue growth and enviable gross margins, we're excited to share the news of our Series A led by @OutsidersFund. Kudos to @NHegeman and the team for their amazing execution. Not a bad present from Santa!

Been absent from social for a bit, but it's been for a good reason: we’ve raised a $10M Series A round to bring critical automation to industrial painting. With the fresh funding, we’re gearing up to increase our headcount (we’re hiring!) and relocate our headquarters to VA to support our entry into the marine business. Thank you to our partners @OutsidersFund, @ThisIsDynamo, @PathbreakerVC, @MetaPropNYC, @VSCVentures, and @53Stations for backing our vision. And thanks to @bheater of @TechCrunch for sharing our story: bit.ly/476dakI

I hate golf. But if you replace the word “golf” with just about anything, you’d probably end up being a pretty decent parent with some pretty decent kids who are generally happy and successful in their lives.

Awesome to see @geckorobotics partnering with the @USNavy to modernize the Columbia-class nuclear submarine program. Partnerships that value speed and reliability are what we need to focus on building faster robotics today. buff.ly/46CaevZ

It's a prerequisite in robotics to vertically integrate your hardware stack There is no easy road We have a saying at Figure: the only way out is through. The next 12mo's, the big tech/ai companies will come back to robotics to embody their AI

Investing in next-generation vessels is great, but you can’t forget about the maintenance infrastructure needed to accommodate these advancements. Robotics can come into play here, performing maintenance operations faster, safer, and more accurate. buff.ly/3SOl7r3

Confirmation bias, but encouraging just the same

Can LLMs predict the future for startups? Sounds impossible, but is it? We've experimented with using LLMs to try to predict company outcomes, based on founder psychological attributes alone. Wow, it worked much better than anticipated! Read more and see your own results. 👇
