We also own a growing cleaning company, offering free and reduced-price cleanings — and of course, our cleaners are wearing our kits and making more money than they would at a normal cleaning job.

Last weekend, we cleaned the apartments of over 100 founders, investors, and students in the Bay Area.

Asimov (@tryasimov) pays households and businesses worldwide to record their daily routines, generating thousands of hours a day of diverse human movement data to train humanoid robots.

They've built a global network, along with the full stack, from proprietary collection hardware to annotation tooling, and are already providing data to the largest robotics companies in the world.

Congrats on the launch, @lyemningthou and Anshul!
