deploying robots

[Justin Sealy @jsealynyc]

A year ago, we had a thesis and nothing else.

Today, I’m so stoked to bring Nidus out of stealth and share what we’ve been cooking up this past year.

I believe scaling manufacturing in our country is one of the most important missions of our time. Growing up in rural South Carolina, I saw what happens to communities when manufacturing leaves. Getting to work on this problem means a lot to me.

Over the past year, we’ve built a team, spent time on factory floors, and started turning that thesis into something real. I’m incredibly proud of the people building Nidus and grateful to everyone who took a chance on us early.

There’s a lot of work ahead. I couldn’t be more fired up to do it.

I’ll put our original thesis in the comments for anyone who wants to dig into why we started Nidus.

Nidus CEO @jsealynyc is betting the next world-class physical AI company won't be built in Silicon Valley or Boston:

"The best talent in the world wants to work in New York."

We're excited to back Nidus in their $30M raise to deploy embodied intelligence inside America's factories.

American manufacturing has a capacity crisis. The path to overcoming it is modernizing the swath of existing factories across our country, not only building new ones. Nidus combines frontier models & hardware to enable traditional industrial machines to perform precision assembly tasks.

@jsealynyc @harrisonnguyen @DwivC and @CanePunma are some of the few who have extensive experience actually deploying AI inside the defense industrial base. The only way physical AI has impact on the economy is by doing the hard, gritty work of making it useful in our most critical environments.

And they've already done it, just a few months after starting.

America's defense factories need to increase production. Nidus is bringing embodied intelligence to the factory floor, enabling industrial robots to perform complex assembly tasks and expand capacity.

Congratulations to co-founders @jsealynyc, @DwivC, @CanePunma, and @harrisonnguyen on Nidus' $30M raise. We're excited to back the team as they bring physical AI to American manufacturing.

EXCLUSIVE: Nidus, an AI robotics startup focused on defense industrial needs like wire harnesses, has raised $30M led by Kleiner Perkins.

I spoke to CEO Justin Sealy and team about their mission.
