Siddharth and Vignesh didn’t set out to build a robotics company—but over dumplings in San Francisco, they decided to apply to Y Combinator and figure it out along the way. In this episode, we hear how Pivot Robotics went from vague ideas and dusty factory visits to landing a pilot contract off a 3D render. We talk about navigating pivots, selling into legacy industries, raising money without overthinking valuation, and why automating dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs just might be the future of American manufacturing.
