Our Investment in Autopallet Robotics 


As warehouses struggle with labor shortages, rising costs, and efficiency bottlenecks, companies need solutions that easily integrate with existing operations.

That’s why we invested in AutoPallet Robotics—a company redefining warehouse automation with mobile robots designed for whole-case picking processes.

Addressing a Billion-Dollar Problem

Warehouses and distribution centers in the U.S. spend over $10 billion annually on labor inefficiencies, yet more than 50% still rely on manual workers for bulk order picking. Traditional automation solutions have been expensive, rigid, and out of reach for many businesses.

AutoPallet Robotics offers a scalable, cost-effective alternative—a fleet of intelligent, self-navigating robots that operate autonomously in high-volume logistics environments. Their Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model eliminates the need for heavy upfront investment, allowing businesses to pay per pick at a fraction of traditional labor costs.

What Sets AutoPallet Robotics Apart

  • Autonomous, AI-Powered Robots – Equipped with real-time navigation and obstacle avoidance, AutoPallet Robotics’ robots integrate seamlessly into warehouses without infrastructure changes.
  • Scalability & Throughput—AutoPallet Robotics can process 10,000 to 100,000 boxes daily, delivering high efficiency at scale, making it an ideal solution for large distribution centers.
  • Cost Reduction – The RaaS model significantly lowers labor costs, offering a pay-as-you-use pricing structure that ensures predictable operational expenses.

Why We’re Backing AutoPallet Robotics

We look for companies that combine strong technology, a great team, a massive market opportunity, and a scalable business model. AutoPallet Robotics meets all the criteria:

A massive, growing market – Warehousing automation is projected to be a $30 billion industry by 2026.

A strong team with a clear vision – Eric and Nathan bring deep experience in robotics, AI-driven navigation, and system integration.
Cutting-edge technology – AI-powered robots that work autonomously and adapt to warehouse needs.
A clear path to adoption – The RaaS model makes automation accessible to a broader range of customers.

After visiting AutoPallet Robotics’ prototype in San Francisco, we were impressed by how much they quickly accomplished with limited resources. Version 2 of their robot was remarkable; we believe AutoPallet Robotics is well on its way to becoming a major player in warehouse automation.

That’s why we’re excited to invest in their latest round—to support a solution that brings efficiency, scalability, and automation to modern logistics.
