Robots and Startups

The business reality behind robotics funding rounds and demos

Substack Robotics Weekly Updated Oct 2026

About

Robots and Startups tracks the business side of robotics, who's raising money, what the actual commercialization timelines look like behind the demo videos, and which startups are quietly struggling to ship anything that works outside a lab. It's aimed more at industry watchers than hobbyists.

The useful thing it does is cut through robotics hype with specifics: funding rounds, customer pilots, and failure rates get as much attention as a flashy new humanoid reveal. Worth it for anyone trying to separate genuine progress from another viral robot video.
