We just raised $85M, Europe's largest ever robotics Series A, led by @CRV, with backing from @Samsung and @LVMH.
But this story did not start today.
Carla and Jia have been obsessed with robots since they were kids. They met as engineers at UPC, started the university's robotics club, and competed and won at an international level.
Years later, that obsession became THEKER: a company built from Barcelona to be the largest in the world, and to crack the technical problems other people call impossible.
Today we are well on our way to the goal we set on day one: solve 100% of physical work. Our robots are live in production, improving every day, and the pace is only increasing.
This round is not the destination. It is one more step in the right direction.
Thank you to everyone who got us here. To our team, who hold a standard most people would call unreasonable. To our customers, who push us to become better. And to our investors, old and new, who saw it before the rest of the world did.
If this mission excites you, we are hiring across the board. Come build it with us.
We will win.
My hot take:
1/ Most AI-email startups will fail. Every YC batch ships 3 new ones. Brilliant tech, beautiful UX, but building "a better inbox" and asking people to migrate has been a losing bet for 20 years. AI doesn't change that.
2/ The misunderstanding is thinking AI is about productivity: replying faster, summaries, drafts, daily briefings, integrated calendars... it's all just meh. The AI revolution is much more than the inbox zero mentality.
3/ Think about your inbox as a server where every email is a log entry: sender, timestamp, subject, plus a wall of text starting with "Hi Joe, hope you're doing well..." Suddenly the entire format feels primitive. Obsolete. We're still using a protocol designed 40 years ago.
4/ The fix isn't a new inbox. That's why at Mailsuite we're not trying to replace Gmail or rebuild the inbox with AI. We're building an intelligence layer on top of the inbox people already use. No migration. No learning curve. Our game is different.
5/ Mailsuite AI processes your inbox data, identifies what's relevant to you and writes it back in human language.
6/ Why Mailsuite: 14M signups. 800k monthly active users. 119k paying customers. 4 billion emails tracked. All organic, no paid marketing, no sales team. We have the users, we have the data, now we have the AI.
7/ Email hasn't really changed for 40 years.What we're about to ship will. Soon.
Electric vehicles are an extremely powerful tool for reducing oil demand.
This is so obvious when you use the same units.
There is a ton of chemical energy in the oil we burn to move cars, but you only need a small fraction in electrical energy for EVs to do the same job.
Por ir a lo más reciente. Barcelona y Real Madrid no han ido ni un solo minuto por delante en sus respectivas eliminatorias de cuartos de final de Champions.
Están como para hablar de otra cosa
Los aficionados al fútbol no nos merecemos los “entornos sociomediaticos” de Real Madrid, Barcelona y Atlético de Madrid.
Como dice un buen amigo ya nadie pierde o gana de forma merecida. Es insoportable
Los actual generación de políticos tiene es su mano tomar las decisiones para q Europa no tenga q volver a sufrir de esta dependencia. No hay ideología. Es simplemente apostar por la tecnología europea y la soberanía del continente vs la dependencia exterior
En las anteriores crisis energéticas generadas por conflictos en Oriente Próximo no había alternativa al petróleo. En esas crisis está el origen de por qué países como Dinamarca o Países Bajos apostaron por la bicicleta como el eje de su movilidad.
La diferencia con la crisis actual es que sí hay alternativas para paliar una parte muy significativa de la dependencia al petróleo: renovables, baterías, SAF, reactores nucleares modulares de nueva generación…
London property prices are crashing and the numbers are shocking
In prime central London, the falls are brutal & ugly. See below…
Just 15 years ago London was booming & everyone from all over the world was fighting to get property in the capital
Now all the millionaires & billionaires are leaving, the prices are crashing, & the supporting local businesses are closing down
>Mayfair sold prices are down 50 to 60 per cent year on year >Kensington & Chelsea is down 40 to 50 per cent >Belgravia & Westminster seeing a 10%+ a YEAR drop in value
London used to be the best property market in the world, now it’s starting the national collapse as it will ripple out
Yes, this is brutal, but it also means that central prime London is now cheap enough to buy.
Will you invest or will you leave London/the U.K. like so many?
@angeljimenez Sí. Estamos en un momento en el q todos están muy lejos de encontrar la rentabilidad a los servicios q ofrecen. Lo normal es q la fiesta de lo gratis, y la d los $20 por usuario, se termine y q haya pocos ganadores q ganen mucho y muchos perdedores q pierdan hasta la camisa
