This week:

Patric and Shubhankar dive deep into the growing role of robotics in construction tech. They discuss how labor shortages and inflation in mature markets are accelerating demand, and why founders with a product mindset do better than pure automation experts.

Other topics include: the promise of granular “micro-step” automation focused on valuable tasks; the need for robotics startups to sell actual construction outcomes rather than just equipment leases; the niche adoption so far in emerging markets versus the huge potential for leapfrogging; and the market triggers that could rapidly unlock construction robotics innovation globally. Whether you’re an investor or founder in this space, or just want an insider’s overview of the construction robotics landscape and business models, this episode delivers an insightful analysis.
