Investor Information
Cities are legally required to clear sidewalks but lack the labor. Manual crews are expensive, unreliable, and can't respond fast enough. Property owners ignore ordinances. People get hurt. Cities get sued.
Zero labor cost. Fully autonomous operation. Sidewalks cleared in hours, not days.
Sidewalk-scale. Modular tools for year-round use: snow clearing in winter, mowing in summer.
Open source. Geometry-based safety (no ML in the critical path). Field-repairable with off-the-shelf parts.
An $18k rover replaces $50k+/year in labor costs. Zero ongoing labor. The math is obvious.

Autonomous vehicle scheduling at Uber. CTO and co-founder at DitchCarbon. Built this rover from scratch in Cleveland.
Why Cleveland? Real winters. Real municipalities. Lower burn rate than SF. We go where the problem is.
- Scale to 25 bvr1 production units
- Expand Cleveland pilot, add 3-5 partners
- Hire robotics engineer + BD lead
- $1M+ ARR runway to Series A
