The increased collaboration between human and machine (“Augmented Intelligence”) will be the centerpiece of our economy and daily lives, and is arguably required for our economy to keep functioning. Robotics Hub is the first VC aimed at actively creating companies of consequence out of emerging augmented intelligence and robotics breakthroughs, with more than seven years of demonstrated success getting extremely ambitious products funded, launched, and scaled. This Pittsburgh-headquartered, globally reaching organization is positioned to use our global network’s unique and differentiated resources to develop and foster the kind of organizations that will one day redefine way we live, work and define our economy. Our approach is designed to rapidly identify the most viable ideas and strategies, concentrate resources around them, and shows a repeated track record taking the strongest ideas from pre-product to revenue in less than a year and from revenue to growth stage in less than five. Core to this success is structuring our relationships with our companies much closer to that of co-founder than a typical venture investor. Began as an in-house, cross-campus Robotics Ventures Initiative at Carnegie Mellon. Spun out as an independent for-profit entity serving the broader regional and national robotics community in late 2015.
