Big update to start the year - excited to announce I'm joining Aformic as CEO!
Aformic isn't a household name (yet), but we're a robotics startup that provides industrial automation hardware & software to some of the largest manufacturers on the planet.
What we're building is critical as the US, the EU, and our global Allies find ourselves at an inflection point where we need to break our dependence on China and once again manufacture - at scale, at cost, and at speed.
In pursuit of that mission, the team had an incredible 2025 in only our second year of operations and was able to:
๐ญ Serve some of the world's largest HardTech companies with our solutions, including Toyota, Mitsubishi, 3M, Hitachi, Oshkosh and many more
๐ Earn the right to support customers at scale with $20M+ in bookings in 2025
โ๏ธ Transition multiple Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) models to low rate initial & full rate production
๐ป Deploy our Qursor orchestration platform to control third-party hardware live in customer facilities
All of this with a lean team and no external capital raised to date.
I'm incredibly excited to pursue our mission and lead the talented team at Aformic. Lots of work, but getting after our goals aggressively will help us build at the scale needed to win.
I'll be sharing updates throughout our journey here. More soon!
Finally burned down the flood of LinkedIn messages post fundraise announcement last week.
Just in time to get cold inbound from a ~$40B market cap company. Already knew our models and had a specific robot in mind for their use case + budget.
When it rains, it pours I guess?
Big day at Aformic - announcing our $6.95M seed round!
Hundreds of robots deployed today, $34M+ in purchase orders to date, and over 186,000 miles covered by our industrial robots in the last 12 months.
We're automating the industries that matter - and only getting started!
