Investment thesis

The Robotics Hub positions itself as a venture capital firm with deep expertise in robotics and AI, targeting what it considers the most promising opportunities in these fields. It emphasizes a 'human with machine' philosophy rather than 'human versus machine,' and seeks companies whose applications of emerging technologies go beyond conventional 'dull, dirty, dangerous' use cases. The firm looks for founders aiming to solve global, societal-level problems and describes itself as specializing in building world-changing companies.
