VC investments slowed in 2023, but it is great to see Proprio - a University of Washington spinout - make the list with a $43 million Series B round in 2023 following FDA clearance for its surgical navigation platform. "Proprio's flagship, FDA-approved platform Paradigm uses light field technology and artificial intelligence to generate a real-time, 3D visualization of surgery." The article states, "The platform eliminates the need for intraoperative scans, reducing radiation exposure and saving up to 30 minutes per procedure." #SurgicalRobotics #Robotics #NWRA #PNW

This is required reading if starting or running a robotics company. It's spot on in so many ways. Thank you Cascadia and our good friends at the Northwest Robotics Alliance. More so, this is why I'm passionate in helping Spyrosoft grow in this market: “What layers of tech stack can I buy vs. build” and the “...need to build the entire tech stack themselves … is no longer necessary." - and - "... avoid larger teams with much higher fixed costs…” "Facts" as the kids say.

Congratulations to Carbon Robotics! “Demand and units shipped for LaserWeeder tripled in 2023 versus 2022 — so this was a good opportunity for us to accelerate another new product project we are very excited about,” Carbon VP of marketing Brett Goodwin told GeekWire. “As an AI robotics company, we’re big believers in the power of software and hardware together to create value.”

Congratulations to Retrocausal with their latest round! - Retrocausal is the industry leader in intelligence augmentation systems that give superpowers to assembly operators, plant managers, and industrial engineers to dramatically boost the productivity, quality, and safety of shop-floor processes.
