Robotics for Space R&D

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build robots designed to operate in microgravity environments for research and manufacturing in space. Our robotic platforms enable scientists and companies to run experiments or production tasks that can't be done on Earth. The robots handle precise manipulation and automation unique to the challenges of space R&D.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in San Francisco, CA, and plan to stay here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us close to both aerospace startups and leading research institutions working on space tech. It's the best place to access early customers and technical talent focused on space robotics.
