Mechanism Capital

[Andrew Kang @Rewkang]

RoboStrategy going public is just the start of our journey to establish a new model for Venture Capital

REITs broke out in the ‘90s, ETFs in the ��00s and the era of public VC is next, starting with the companies building the future of the physical world

[Andrew Kang @Rewkang]

We’re ringing the Nasdaq closing bell with a bunch of @RoboStrategy portfolio robots next week

Before that we’ll be hosting a Robotics Forum with the founders and senior leaders from @Apptronik, @standardbots, @DynaRobotics, @DexmateAI, @mavenrobotics, @PathRobotics, @noxmetals and more

Who are the best large public equity managers interested in robotics? We have a few spots reserved for them.

[Andrew Kang @Rewkang]

Robots need to be purpose built for Physical AI

They need to be able to sense, react and learn

Standard Bots is leading this new generation of design and we believe they'll be one of the most important companies in building the future of the physical world

🚨 NAV UPDATE:

RoboStrategy's new NAV is $249 million.

This represents a 69% increase from $147 million since May 31, 2026.

[Andrew Kang @Rewkang]

Over the past month, RoboStrategy added ~$100m NAV of new robotics investments

NAV has increased 69% since public listing month

NAV/Share has increased 45% since public listing month

[Andrew Kang @Rewkang]

RoboStrategy is more than just a holding vehicle for the leading private companies in the Robotics/Physical AI domain

We aim to be one of the largest investors and partners to the leaders of the industry as a public investment company

SoftBank was the original pioneer of this strategy and has grown to a $200B+ bohemoth. While we will pave our own unique path, we take inspiration from their model and believe there is room for more than one player.

Thrilled to lead the Standard Bots Series C

Industrial robots can be thought of as the GPU of industrial work. Powered by AI, they’ll be able to power much of the work required in industrial settings - welding, machine tending, assembly, dispensing, sorting, the list goes on. Industrial robots have existed for decades, but it’s important that they’re built and designed for an AI native future.

The work they’ve done over the past decade was not easy - vertical integration, engineering their own parts and a plan to manufacture all of it in America. We talked to many industrial customers and asked them to compare them to the other companies and products on the market and Standard Bots overwhelmingly received the highest marks.

AI-native robot adoption is not a 5-10 year in the future event. It’s happening now and Standard Bots is at the forefront of that. If we want to reindustrialize America and massively scale American manufacturing then we need millions, eventually billions of robots produced in America.

Standard Bots stands to be one of the pillars of American reindustrialization.

Highly recommend following @standardbots & @evanbeard

First Podcast Appearance in 5 years

Building a Robotics focused investment firm has been one of the most fascinating experiences of my life

Robots will be as ubiquitous as smart phones within a decade. Everyone should be paying attention and the @RoboStrategy team will be sharing much more about the most exciting developments in the industry

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

Not enough people are talking about physical AI and robotics.

I sat down with @rewkang, one of the best investors of the last decade, to discuss his massive bet on humanoids and robotics.

He breaks down the industry, the addressable market, multiple leading companies, and why he launched a publicly-traded fund ($BOT) focused on investing in the top private robotics companies.

BREAKING: Kevin McCordic (@intern) has signed with RoboStrategy as Chief Marketing Officer

[Andrew Kang @Rewkang]

Proud to announce my position as CEO of @RoboStrategy.

When I initially started looking into investing in robotics 2 years ago most VCs I consulted with recommended not to invest in the space. Robotics companies at this time did not have an easy time raising capital. The industry didn’t have a track record of big venture winners, was perceived to be challenging for a variety of reasons, and was not well understood. But it was clear to me that the rate of acceleration of physical AI development would dramatically change the industry. I invested $19m into FigureAI as my first investment.

I believed it was a question of when, not if we could imbue machines around the world with physical intelligence. To accomplish this, the industry would need a tremendous amount of capital to grow, and also an investment firm that deeply understood the needs of robotics/physical AI companies so that it could build a platform to better support them. It will take hundreds of billions to capitalize the mechanized future meaning there is a big gap in the market. We decided we wanted to fill it.

Previously, Mechanism Capital had never taken outside capital, but to do this at the scale I envision, I would need to do so. However, the private markets don’t have that scale. The public markets do, and it was clear that there is and likely will be tremendous appetite for public market investors to participate in the immense value creation happening in AI & robotics that only private market investors currently have the privilege of accessing. The explosive growth of AI companies is a precursor of what will happen in physical AI. So in 2025, we founded RoboStrategy and a year later, we took it public on Nasdaq. Throughout this year, we’ve assembled a great portfolio, started leading rounds of some amazing companies, and have built the foundation to be ready to scale to the next level after going public.

We look different from a traditional VC firm in ways that founders appreciate. Our structure as a closed end fund means our capital is permanent - no fund life meaning we can invest with extremely long time horizons. Our investment firm also of course needs to have deep industry and research experience so that it can make the best risk reward optimized investment decisions. In the last year, we’ve brought on some truly exceptional robotics industry veterans who have previously served for decades as founders/operators. Many founders we talk to consider us as the most sophisticated venture capital firm they’ve talked to and we only intend to grow our expertise in the industry. RoboStrategy’s success depends on our ability to distribute the fund and capture maximal mindshare. This plays to our team’s strength in digital marketing and social media. We’re building a special marketing engine that serves as an attention amplifier for both us and our founders so that our products and stories can reach more people.

A source of inspiration for our fund structure, Strategy (MSTR) raised tens of billions from public capital markets to invest in Bitcoin. I believe robotics will be a much larger industry than Bitcoin and the asset class is orders of magnitude less accessible. We are aiming to raise more and not only become the largest robotics investor globally, but also one of the largest venture capital funds in the world. Venture capital has traditionally been restricted to a limited group of investors. We are changing the paradigm and bringing it to the rest of the world.

Be sure to follow @RoboStrategy.

Job’s not finished.
