Sara Rywe

❗️Our term sheet is now public for everyone to see! We've been working hard to push the boundaries of so called "founder friendly terms" and it's about time to remove the unfair advantage that VCs have in term sheet negotiations. 5 of the 9 key decisions we've taken below:

@loki_robotics Simply incredible!

We are the first robot company completing challenging surface cleaning tasks through physical contact in real world environments. Unlike tasks only requiring pick-and-place primitives, cleaning entails tracking complex 3D surfaces whilst wiping them down. We build custom compliant tool heads, and implement impedance-based IK control to track any surface effortlessly, removing the burden of being accurate from the teleoperator.

Cleaning just got a looooooot easier! Here’s a day in the life of one of our Loki’s deployed in a commercial office space. By exploiting the problem structure and environment consistency, we combine autonomy with remote teleoperation to perform cleaning and day-to-day maintenance tasks reliably.

@deedydas ❤️ The Nordics

@axeliaklein @peakonteam @pleo @labster @Templafy @ContractbookHQ @ForecastHQ @pentohq @cobalt_io @corti_ai Realized now that you only asked for H1 2021 🤦🏼‍♀️

When I got into SaaS investing in 2008-2010 I’ve learned that fast-growing SaaS companies are valued at around 8-10x ARR. It took me a decade to realize that the formula is *actually* ARR x YY. RT if you’re getting it, comment if not. ;-)

I feel humbled and honored to have been selected as Talent100 by @berlingske 💯 Thank you to all my wonderful colleagues at @byFounders and all extraordinary startup founders I get to work with on a daily basis 🌟🦄 berlingske.dk/talent-100/sar…
