Our CEO, Jeff Linnell, recently participated in a panel discussion on the future of robotics hosted by BMW i Ventures! This *dream team* panel explored how robotics is tackling labor shortages, the increasing role of AI, and exciting investment trends. Here are some key takeaways ⬇️ - Robots are filling the labor gap: Robotics is becoming essential to address persistent labor shortages, especially in manufacturing and commercial real estate. - AI is supercharging robotics growth: Advancements in AI are leading to smarter, more efficient robots, driving innovation and setting the stage for growth across the industry. - Investment is on the rise again. VCs are renewing their interest in robotics, largely fueled by the exciting potential of AI-powered systems. Jeff specifically highlighted the following: - Service provider models are bridging the gap from vendor to end-user. Adding value as a robotics service provider is crucial to making adoption easier and bringing non-technical workers closer to the robots they work alongside. - AI is propelling robotics capabilities forward, fast. AI's rapid advancements are revolutionizing what robots can do, making machines not only more autonomous but also far more efficient and precise. A big thanks to the panelists, everyone who attended, and, of course, BMW iVentures for hosting! #robotics #automation #innovation #futureofwork #AI

From State of RaaS (robots-as-a-service) ➡️ State of Haas (hardware-as-a-service) Our investor BMW i Ventures, represented by Samantha Huang, is featured in Silicon Valley Banks's recent report on hardware providers, including those in the robotics industry. The report identifies macro trends, popular vertical receiving investments, key perspectives from well-known VCs, and more. A finding that caught our eye is robotics's significant role in HaaS, making up nearly half of the market and feeding mostly into the warehouse & logistics, retail, manufacturing, and PropTech industries. For comparison, in our 2024 State of RaaS report, respondents' largest reported operating industry was manufacturing, followed by facilities services, healthcare, and warehouse & logistics. It will be interesting to watch how these business models shape their common industries… To get a head start on the future of HaaS, download the full report below! #robotics #HaaS #automation #VC #innovation
📢 Silicon Valley Bank just published its "State of Hardware-as-a-Service 2024" report, which found that macro trends such as onshoring, clean energy investment, and increased defense spending are driving demand for hardware and capturing investors' attention. The report also underscores the importance of adaptation, showing that the best companies evolve to meet current demands. As our colleague Samantha Huang noted in the report, “For contract renewals, you may have to take a leap of faith, but hopefully, you see some evidence of renewal or expansion by Series B. Some customers who are replacing OpEx really prefer longer contracts to lock in the ROI for their automation investments." Tech companies enabled by machines now hold the highest share of seed-stage VC in four years, with increasing valuations across every stage. As hardware continues to evolve, it remains indispensable and is continuously adapting to the needs of today’s world. 🚀 #HaaS #VentureCapital #TechTrends #Innovation #siliconvalleybank Read more and download the report ⬇️
