Robotics, AI and automation have long been one of the hottest categories for tech investments.
After years and decades of talk, however, those big payouts are starting to pay off.
Robotics are beginning to dominate nearly every aspect of work, from warehouse fulfillment to agriculture to retail and construction.
Our annual TC Sessions: Robotics+AI event on March 3 affords us the ability to bring together some of the top investors in the category to discuss the hottest startups, best bets and opine on where the industry is going.
And this year VC panel is arguably our strongest yet:
Eric Migicovsky is a general partner a Y Combinator.
Prior to joining the firm, he co-founded Pebble.
The smartwatch pioneer was itself a YC-backed venture, along with raising three of Kickstarter all-time top crowdfunding campaigns.
Migicovsky joined YC following Fitbit acquisition of the startup in 2016.
DCVC partner Kelly Chen focuses primarily on the AI, robotics, manufacturing and work-related sectors.
Her work is generally focused on the world of hardware, along with the transformations of populations and labor.
Dror Berman co-founded Innovations Ventures in 2010 with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
A key driver in the firm investments in Uber, SoFi and Formlabs, Berman also focuses on robotics, including companies like Blue River Technology and Common Sense Robotics.
TC Sessions: Robotics+AI returns to Berkeley on March 3.
