O que Hlabs faz

HLabs is making an industrial supply chain for building robots in the USA including electronics and actuators, with a focus on in-house manufacturing. Robotics is going to be one of the largest industries the world has ever seen. Teams have to buy what they can from overseas and then build everything else in house just to get something to move. HLabs is producing a plug and play set of robotic primitives to accelerate the early development and then working with larger scale production robots for bespoke designs. Early customers span across household robotics, humanoids, robot arms, quadrupeds, and defense. Hlabs is founded by Paul, a second time YC founder who also participated in the W21 batch with Mystic. He ran Mystic as CEO for 6 years.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

US-Made Parts for Robots

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

We build a set of plug and play robotic parts made in the US - electronics, actuators, and components - for teams building robots. Our goal is to replace the costly, slow, and overseas-dependent part of the supply chain with parts that get robots moving faster and at scale. We focus both on early-stage development kits and on supplying custom parts for larger, bespoke robot builds.

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

I'm based in San Francisco now and the company will remain here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right ecosystem for robotics startups and manufacturing partners that support our mission to build US-made robotics components. It also lets us stay connected to early customers and industry networks.
