And... Stage 2! We're excited to have been selected for the next stage of Venture Kick, further supporting our innovation in scalable AI models for robotic manipulation.

Thanks to Daniel Kuepper and Yannick Bastubbe from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) for mentioning us in Harvard Business Review! Like Daniel, we also believe that the latest advances in generative AI for robotics will allow for the first fully autonomous factories. Our approach focusing on manipulation promises to be simpler than humanoid robots, while providing the same value add.

🔥 New employee spotlight! We're thrilled to have Matteo Lentini Quadrelli on board as Founder’s Associate Intern. Matteo is already driving go-to-market and operations with experience from UBS and managing partnerships at START Global next to his business studies at University of St.Gallen. In his free time, you can probably find him taking a plunge into the Limmat river or mixing cocktails. Want to help us change the future of humanoid robotics?

We're happy to announce that we have been selected for the first stage of Venture Kick! We're excited to be recognized as a promising new Swiss startup and can't wait to show more of what we're doing.

At mimic we are proud to be part of the vibrant Swiss AI ecosystem, developing foundation models for humanoid robotic hands. Great to see our co-founder Stephan-Daniel Gravert at the roundtable with Federal Councillor #GuyParmelin and 16 representatives of the Swiss startup ecosystem at startup days. The topic of this session was how Switzerland can ensure that local AI startups play a leading role worldwide. Thanks for inviting us, Dominik Isler and startup days and looking forward to the next session!

Our pre-seed fundraising news was featured on Forbes! 🎉 👀 Link here: https://lnkd.in/de8mz9nU We're happy that our announcement is garnering attention and we're looking forward to challenging the status quo in AI+robotics! 🤖 🧠

Today we are proud to finally announce the foundation of mimic! We just raised $2.5M in a pre-seed round to develop AI-driven collaborative robots with humanoid hands, addressing global labor shortages across industries. 🤖💼 Our technology leverages generative AI to create robots that can understand and imitate human behavior, revolutionizing the way robotics fit into our everyday lives and economy. 🧠🌍 We're thrilled to have the support of leading investors Founderful, another.vc, and Tiny Supercomputer Investment Company, as well as our amazing angel investors.
