Standard Bots
We believe AI-native robots are the essential power tool of the 21st century — the tool that will grow American manufacturing and help every American worker to be a force at work. You just show your robot how it’s done, and it learns through demonstration. No coding, no consultants, just unbox and deploy faster than anything else on the market. We are expanding our Glen Cove, New York facility to 70,000 square feet to scale our vertically integrated production process. We currently design almost all our own parts, including our own actuators, and we assemble every final product in-house. By 2027, we’ll manufacture everything — from metal in to robots out — right here in America. More at standardbots.comwww.standardbots.com

Andrew KangGUEST
Basically, questions that we've explored and went deep on over the course of the last three years.
Andrew KangGUEST
Having that understanding of all these dynamics that we think are going to be important to evaluate and how they're going to change over time, that's what allows us to have a much better understanding of being able to evaluate these companies than I think almost most of the investors in the world for robotics.
Tom RyanHOST
Yeah, and I know one of your largest holdings is a company called Standard Bots.
Tom RyanHOST
Maybe tell us about that.
John KoetsierHOST
That's great, but robots typically also need post-training, on-site training about how to do X at this location within a specific set of constraints.
John KoetsierHOST
What if any employee, anyone, could do that just with an iPad and their voice? In other words, what if you could vibe code robot training? Today we're chatting with Evan Beard, co-founder and CEO of Standard Bots.
John KoetsierHOST
Welcome, Evan.
John KoetsierHOST
How are you doing?

I'm curious to see at what point that might change, but probably not for another five years or so.
Bill D'AlessandroHOST
Yeah, I'm still scrolling through the photos.

I imagine the labor is the... for the biggest piece.
Jordan TaitGUEST
I want to understand specifically what are the roles and which parts could be automated through robotics.
Jordan TaitGUEST
My humble brag is I invest in the seed round of this company called Standard Bots, great entrepreneur, Evan Beard.
Jordan TaitGUEST
They just raised it over a billion dollar valuation, but they make robots in America for niche manufacturing.
