About this podcast

Dive into the incredible six-year odyssey of Matic, a hardware startup that dared to build fully automated robots in the heart of Silicon Valley. Co-founders Nishant Dalal and Mehul share their unyielding commitment, having invested their own $1.5 million, to bring their vision of intelligent, autonomous floor-cleaning robots to life. This inspiring narrative covers their journey from the initial idea, sparked by a personal problem, to attracting investments from industry giants like the Collison brothers (Stripe) and Jack Dorsey (Twitter). Discover the immense challenges of hardware development, their unique approach to computer vision over complex sensors, and how they built over 200 prototypes to achieve a product that behaves and cleans like a human, solving real-world household problems.
