Mahesh Krishnamurthi, co-founder of Vayu Robotics, gives an inside look at the journey of creating an AI-powered delivery robot. Important questions we discuss: how to know when you have product market fit, how to grow a talented team, and how to know when you should raise money.


🔑 Bytes:

  • Prototyping should always start with off-the-shelf components to minimize cost and speed up development.
  • There's a fine balance between confidence and arrogance when it comes to pitching investors - lead with humility and quiet confidence.
  • Be cautious if you're raising capital before you hit the flywheel of product market fit.
