What Vision Lab does

We capture and structure real factory workflows at scale by combining first-person industrial video with SOP-level process knowledge. This enables robotics and AI labs to train on real production data, not just controlled lab environments.

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

We build a system that captures and structures real factory workflows at scale by combining first-person industrial video with standard operating procedure (SOP) level process knowledge. This data enables robotics and AI labs to train their models on actual production environments instead of controlled labs, improving robot performance in real factories.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA. After YC, Vision Lab will remain based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the best access to robotics and AI talent as well as early industrial robotics customers. Being local allows us to iterate quickly and stay connected to the ecosystem that matters most for our product.
