""The sad truth is most are still selling a lot of hype and headlines, and we sell performance on the job site that shows up in our customers, profits, and losses.""
""We have more requests for demos, then we have hours in the day, so we need to scale up capacity and head count.""
""It took the company half a decade to ship its first 100 robots, and it took a fair amount of convincing to get VCs to back a robotics founder with a liberal arts background and no robotics experience.""
Lucid Bots, founded by Andrew Ashur, specializes in window cleaning robots, prioritizing safety and efficiency over flashy designs. The company has raised $34 million in funding, including a recent $20 million Series B round. Lucid Bots manufactures its Sherpa drones and Lavo robot in the U.S. and aims to scale operations due to high demand for demos. Initially, the company faced challenges in gaining investor interest, taking five years to sell its first 100 robots, despite Ashur's non-technical background in robotics.
