I spent 6 days surveying IMTS, America’s Largest Manufacturing Trade Show to discover the real opportunities in hardware design and manufacturing.
CNC, 3D printing, and metrology all got 10x cheaper, empowering more engineers and entrepreneurs to build. Physical AI remains largely unsolved and now might be the best time in the last decade to spin up your own vision. To support your endeavors, we’re launching Misumi Ventures, a $50M fund for early stage frontier hardware, robotics, automation, and industrial AI startups! Links below!
