You’re wasting millions of dollars on custom industry robots that take months to implement. Today, robotic automation means redesigning your entire facility for the robot to work. You need to change the floor plan, adjust conveyor belts, and re-educate your staff. This is inefficient and unnecessary. With Servo7, you don’t have to do any of that. Automating with Servo7 is simple and fast, because our robots: 1) Deploy in existing operations 2) Learn from simple demonstrations 3) Keep improving on the job We have previously worked on autonomous defense systems, LLMs, autonomous driving, and hyperloops. Not just in the lab, but actually deploying them in the field. We’re already working with warehouses to automate their fulfillment. If you work in assembly, manufacturing, or logistics, email founders@servo7.com. We're onboarding our next partners now.

Market Opportunity

Industrial robotics and warehouse automation is a $50B+ and growing market. The ICP is clear: warehouses, assembly, manufacturing, and logistics operations currently underserved by rigid, expensive custom automation. The pain point (months-long deployment, facility redesign) is well-documented and the value proposition (same-day deployment, learn-from-demonstration) addresses a real bottleneck that affects millions of SMB and enterprise facilities globally.

Founder Signal

Jasper van Leuven has hands-on robotics deployment experience: Avalor AI (autonomous UGVs/drones, Sep 2024–Jul 2025), Siemens GenAI research (sim-to-real for autonomous vehicles, Sep 2023–Aug 2024), TU Delft MSc Robotics with 8.5 GPA. Pieter Becking has ML engineering at Boeing (reinforcement learning, May 2024–Jan 2025), LLM fine-tuning at NEBUL (Aug 2024–Jul 2025), and a prior startup exit (Young Talent House, acquired by wearekayak.com). Both have shipped real systems outside the lab, not just academic work.

Competition

Competing against established players like Boston Dynamics, Covariant, Machina Labs, Dexterity, and the broader humanoid wave (Figure, Physical Intelligence). However, Servo7's differentiation — fast deployment into existing operations without facility redesign, lightweight task-specific models — is meaningfully distinct from humanoid hype and heavy-custom-integration incumbents. The sim-to-real pipeline and small model size are real technical moats in development but not yet proven at scale.

Product

Company is actively working with warehouses on fulfillment automation and demonstrated a working robot arm ('Carly') at YC. They have a real physical robot with a custom 55M parameter vision-action model trained via demonstrations, a simulation pipeline built in-house using MuJoCo and CasADi. No named customer logos, revenue figures, or public case studies yet — early but clearly not vaporware.

OverallA Tier

Two technical founders with direct, field-deployed robotics experience and a prior acquisition between them — this is one of the stronger founder pairs in industrial robotics at the early stage. The product is real: a working robot arm, a custom vision-action model, an in-house simulation pipeline, and live warehouse pilots. The market is enormous and the deployment-friction angle is a genuine differentiation versus both legacy automation and the humanoid hype cycle. The main risk is execution at scale — going from warehouse pilots to repeatable deployment across diverse industrial tasks is brutally hard, and no revenue or named customers have been disclosed. If they can prove the 'deploy in one day' claim at 10+ customers, this could accelerate quickly.
