Divya Thakur, founder of Yardbot, joins host Jim Belosic to discuss how he’s building a next-gen landscaping company powered by robotics. Instead of chasing full automation, Yardbot combines human crews with custom-built mowing robots to deliver better results at a lower cost.

Divya shares his journey from software engineering and finance to self-driving cars at Cruise, and how a failed Bitcoin startup taught him one of his biggest lessons: build for customers, not just cool tech. We get into the gritty reality of developing hardware, five generations of robot iterations, and what it takes to run a tech-driven business in a traditional industry.
