This Week's Deal: Robotics company at 35% discount ($62M → $40M)
By Jose Ruiz · · 2 min read
Good evening!
Every Friday, we bring Founderscrowd Premium members one pre-IPO deal you can actually invest in—vetted, analyzed, and accessible.
This week's deal:
A robotics company electrifying heavy machinery with technology 3x faster and 3x more efficient than hydraulics. They've got US Air Force contracts, 20+ patents, $9.7M in revenue, and Guinness World Record for the world's strongest robotic arm.
The opportunity:
We've secured access for Founderscrowd members at a ~$40-45M effective valuation—a 35%+ discount from the current $62.12M Wefunder round.
What they do:
Replace hydraulic systems in heavy machinery (construction equipment, military vehicles, industrial robots) with fluid-free electric actuators. Think: Tesla for bulldozers.
Why this matters:
The heavy machinery market is $600B. It's dirty, inefficient, and stuck in the 20th century. This company has the technology to electrify it—and the US military is already paying them to do it.
The traction:
$9.7M in revenue (government + commercial contracts)
$3M Air Force contract extension (early 2026)
$2.5M contract backlog
2,200+ investors in their 2025 Reg CF round (#1 campaign of 2025)
20+ worldwide patents
Backed by MIT's The Engine, Techstars, Fortistar Capital
The catch:
Early-stage. Revenue-generating but not profitable yet. Long sales cycles (especially government). Execution risk.
But if they execute? This could be a 10-50x in 5-7 years.
Jose, Alberto, and the Founderscrowd team.
