Tractors plow our fields. Cranes build our cities. Satellites link us together. Civilization runs on machines. But what do our machines run on? Announcing Root Access: the Applied AI company for machines.

Maturing is realizing World War 1 is vastly more interesting than World War 2

Just signed our first cold inbound customer — maybe i should promote our new website more 🫠 rootaccess.ai

Negotiating with equipment vendors while watching college football. Happy Saturday yall.

Someone had to say it.

Thank you to the folks DMing me, many asking if we’re already shipping? Yes! And while i don’t think LOIs are as cool as POs… have over $5m in LOIs too. We are ramping as fast as possible to reduce lead times.

Another PO signed today. That’s $200k revenue in 8 weeks. Our electronics are now in drones, interceptors, and robots. Maybe most proud of all is we had our first repeat customer. Hardware is hard, but building a good product and having happy customers makes it all worth it.

A prominent startup in NYC posted a team culture / hiring video - and one of the people highlighted as super happy at the company just interviewed with us lol.

What i see when my fiancé says we need more rack space in the kitchen

Adding this to the data room titled: MOAT

Buckets spotted in nyc @lasermatts

Just found out both our new engineers drive motorcycles as their main vehicle. Bullish.

Our cold email outreach is over 40% response rate. Just insane. American robotics companies want to use American-made electronics. It’s that’s simple.

We hired 2 more EEs this month so far - and am looking for another asap. If you’re great at PCB layout and want to work alongside killers, DM me. I blocked off time on my calendar to interview 10 people by EOW.

We signed 4 POs this week, combined for over $100k. It’s not massive numbers for a startup in this crazy era, but our team of 6 is pretty pumped. It’s more revenue than the entire last quarter. Q4 is off to a good start - exciting times ahead!

Wake up babe, a new cute robot just dropped

Me walking into the team meeting right after signing a new PO

wasn’t allowed to put on the gloves and throw hands… but honestly maybe that’s for the best. Appreciate the tour @cbames - pumped about where @REK is heading!

So nice to be back in SF. 2 investor meetings at a cafe in the mission before heading over to @REK to see some robots. Maybe they’ll let me fight one 👀

In SF for the week. Excited to talk robots with some new and old friends.

The gang is cooking. Beautiful weekend to represent PCBs in novel physics-based AI.
