Wahooo! 4AG Robotics named the 33rd fastest growing company in Canada by The Globe and Mail We’ve still got a long way to go as a company, but it’s cool to pause and reflect on what we’ve accomplished these past few years

Robotics is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of national security. In the near future, our food will be harvested by robots, and critical manufacturing and industrial infrastructure will be fully automated. Ensuring that these systems are owned and controlled by friendly nations is not just a matter of economics - it’s a matter of resilience. In times of conflict, industrial and manufacturing centers are strategic targets. Additionally, an army “marches on its stomach.” If a nation relies on automation that it doesn’t control, adversaries could potentially disrupt entire supply chains or halt production at scale without firing a single missile. National security in the 21st century is increasingly tied to the sovereignty of our robotics systems.

It’s been pretty challenging in the Canadian tech ecosystem lately. We needed a unifying tweet to rally against. Thanks @jxnlco!
If you stayed in Canada, were you truly that ambitious?

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. The #1, #2, #3 deciding factor of a startup’s success is the shipping velocity. Companies have no long term moat, the only moat is a fast shipping culture.

I put together a short article on why robots are about to become far more ubiquitous in our lives They can see properly AI allows us to put our complex knowledge in them AI allows them to learn on their own More here: (1) 🚀 Why Robots Are Ready to Go Mainstream: The Future Is Now! 🤖 | LinkedIn

Tim Hammerich did a wicked job of keeping this podcast interesting. We covered how to navigate between VC & running a startup, why there’s a deep graveyard of robotics companies that failed before us, and what makes the mushroom industry so compelling #mushrooms #robots 🍄🤖 Also - I nervously stumble on my words like 5 times over the course of 40 minutes… futureofagriculture.com/epis…
