About us

Built to do the tasks that keep the world spinning.

When you go to Costco to do your weekly grocery run, you probably don't think about the amount of work it took to stock all those shelves, do you? The work behind that is anything but trivial. It takes an enormous amount of human effort to keep those shelves full. We're building robots to make their lives easier, to autonomously restock shelves overnight.

Team

  • Suyog Bhandari

    Founder & Lead Engineer

    [Insert Berkeley guy info if you want]

  • Paul Estrada & Diana McDermott

    Sales & Social Media

    Previous experience

    Paul founded Indexerlabs, a 6-figure ARR company specializing in indexing software. Together they founded 0media, a proxy tool for circumventing social media bans in the UK. Diana is building Captain, an AI publishing suite for journalists.

How we met

We all met at a camp in Los Altos hosted by 1517, where we spent almost every minute talking about dropping out of school to work on CAS (cool ass shit). Automated shelf restocking is not only very CAS, but also has the potential to make a meaningful difference in the world. That's why we're here.
