Pivot Robotics: Siddharth & Vignesh

from The Startup Line · host Bhavishya Banda

Siddharth and Vignesh didn’t set out to build a robotics company—but over dumplings in San Francisco, they decided to apply to Y Combinator and figure it out along the way. In this episode, we hear how Pivot Robotics went from vague ideas and dusty factory visits to landing a pilot contract off a 3D render. We talk about navigating pivots, selling into legacy industries, raising money without overthinking valuation, and why automating dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs just might be the future of American manufacturing.Check out their website! https://www.pivotrobotics.com/Siddharth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siddharthgir/Vignesh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vignesh-rajmohan/
