[AUTONOMOUS - July 16th @autonomousevent]

Early bird for AUTONOMOUS closes Friday. If you build, invest or engineer in physical AI, this room is for you.

San Francisco, July 16. 500 founders, engineers, investors, and operators, for one day.

→ The whole value chain is concentrated in the same, intimate space, discussing the problems each vertical faces.
→ The density of the room matters more than the size of the crowd. Your next investor, customer, or co-founder is thinking the same as you, where is the future going to happen?
→ The people deploying robots at real scale are on stage, not just demoing. Operators talking about how integration actually went versus how it was planned.
→ The talks are curated, this is an event for those who want more than information in a newsletter and real value provided.

[AUTONOMOUS - July 16th @autonomousevent]

How close are we to seeing full automation in robotics?
The bottleneck is never the robot.

4.66 million industrial robots now operating in factories worldwide. Payback periods on automation down 75% in five years. Kodiak hitting a 78% Autonomous Readiness Metric for long-haul trucking. Amazon running 1 robot for every 1.5 human workers.

The machines are ready.

92% of manufacturers say automation is essential for competitiveness. 37% have significant automation in place. The Pentagon just requested a 24,000% budget increase for autonomous warfare in a single cycle.

Every sector tells the same story. Capability is not the problem. Regulatory frameworks, procurement cycles, workforce readiness, legal oversight requirements, it's the systems built around the technology that are consistently the last thing to catch up.

Physical AI is not waiting for a breakthrough, development is steady, research and simulation testing both compound interest. What it is waiting for is for the environment around it to be ready.

That conversation is happening in San Francisco on July 16th. AUTONOMOUS lands in SF as the premier physical AI & robotics conference that the industry needs.
Putting the right founders, investors, engineers and buildings in the same room.

On September 27th, we threw our second DTC summit:

110 attendees at the Shopify Space in NYC
8-panel discussions
4 post-event dinners (all at the same time)

It took 3 months to put together, but it was worth it. Just being in a room with founders and executives from 8/9 figure DTC brands, asking them questions, and learning from actual data that comes with being in the weeds – I learned a ton. I’m sure everyone else did as well.

I met one founder who scaled their first company to $400M+ in their first couple of years and is now running one of the biggest pet brands in the space. I met another tech founder who recently sold his company for nearly 9-figures and is already crushing it with their next one. And this was the norm. Absolute ballers in the crowd.

Mad inspiring to say the least. And after seeing all the conversations our brand attendees and partners had both up on stage and elsewhere, there’s one thing that I know – there’s a lot more to come from DTC Experts.

Starting with our first summit of 2024 on February 7th. And it’s getting better with each one. If you want to be involved (brand attendees only) DM me now. And if you’re here for the ride, then I appreciate you :)
