Foundry Robotics

Foundry Robotics opening night ⚙️ 21 days before we were taking a sledgehammer to the wall and opening up the adjacent space. Now it’s a factory floor full of investors, partners, customers, researchers, operators, and future teammates. A lot more to come.

Last weekend, the Foundry team headed to Napa for our first offsite. Most days, we’re focused on rebuilding American manufacturing and building hard technology — but great companies are also built through trust, friendship, and shared experiences outside of work. 🍷⚙️

@bznotes Thank you Bilal! 🫡

One of our early stealth investments is now in the open. It was Adarsh, a SF loft with robots still in boxes, and a dream and plan to revolutionize manufacturing. We invested! Time to build! 🦾

@arpanpunyani @taps Thank you Arpan! 🫡

@taps and I are so fired up to be early partners to @FoundryRobotics! Adarsh is assembling an all star team that is reinventing American manufacturing and assembly for the 21st Century. Let’s go!! Wrote a bit about our investment here: garuda.substack.com/p/foundry

@altmbr @adarshkulkarni Thank you Bryan 🫡

Excited to be a day 1 angel in @adarshkulkarni's @FoundryRobotics. Foundry is rebuilding American manufacturing: AI-first, assembly-focused, dual-use, end-to-end—and robotics-native from the ground up. A timely mission. And Adarsh is the man to lead it: trained at GRASP, early at Ghost Robotics, then a leader of robotics at Scale. He's also son to a manufacturing father and beleived so strongly in the mission that he leased an office and rented equipment prior to raising a dime. Visiting him at that loft prior to the closing of this fundraise, where we built Vention workcells, and modeled the future, was when I formed conviction on the potential. It's been a couple months and the team and the demand is incredible. Thanks @adarshkulkarni for having me along for the ride. Big things coming!

American manufacturing is one of the hardest problems of our generation. We're here to solve it. Today we announce $19M in seed funding, backed by @khoslaventures, @hanabicapital, @redglassvc, @ZeroShotFund, and all our other incredible investors. AI-first. Software-defined. Just getting started. We're hiring.
