We don’t know how hard something is to do until we try it. That’s especially true when it comes to robotics. Crazy Hard Robots tells the stories of crazy-smart people and the ‘crazy hard’ problems they solved when creating technology of the future. Listeners journey through the robotics ecosystem, exploring both common (“Will robots take my job?”) and uncommon topics (“The economics of robotics”), as we debunk the myths about what robots can and can’t do, and talk about innovations that are around the corner.

Saman Farid, Founder & CEO of Formic

A venture capitalist turned robotics entrepreneur, Saman Farid witnessed the low adoption rates for robotics and saw an opportunity to help make robotic solutions easier to deploy. It wasn’t easy going from a venture capitalist to an entrepreneur. However, Farid realized he didn’t want to be a cheerleader for robotics companies, he wanted to be out on the playing field. After years of funding several successful advanced technology solutions, Farid took the leap and founded Formic, which combines financial innovation with a firm understanding of robotics in order to enable manufacturing customers to deploy and scale automation quickly and with minimal risk.

Tune in to Crazy Hard Robots as Saman Farid, founder and CEO of Formic, chats with Tom about how his venture capital experiences led him to entrepreneurship.
