We are 2 ex-Apple & Meta engineers in San Francisco, applying our Electric Vehicle charging expertise to the fastest-growing problem in robotics: energy.

Our Thesis

Energy will define which autonomous fleets scale and which die.

Rovers on the Moon die because energy isn't there. Warehouse AMRs spend 30% of their time charging instead of working. Delivery robots have a 4-hour window before they're useless. Every robotics vertical hits the same wall: energy management is unsolved, fragmented, and costs more than the robots themselves. We believe whoever builds the universal energy layer for robots wins a generational infrastructure market.

Hypotheses We're Validating
Hypothesis 1

Energy is the #1 cost driver for fleet operators

Charging infrastructure, downtime, and battery management account for more operational cost than the robots themselves at scale.

Hypothesis 2

No universal charging layer exists today

Every robot brand has its own siloed charging solution. Mixed fleets can't share infrastructure. The "Android moment" for robot energy hasn't happened.

Hypothesis 3

Software orchestration beats hardware alone

45% of infrastructure value is shifting to the software & AI layer. The real moat is intelligence: routing, scheduling, and fleet-wide optimization.

Hypothesis 4

The problem is universal across verticals

From warehouses to lunar rovers, the energy coordination challenge is structurally the same. One platform can serve them all.
