Сurated VC <> founders evening at SF Tech Week 2026, hosted by Raisable together with Mission Robotics. An evening for people building and investing in Physical AI - inside a working robotics lab. A short VC panel with active early-stage robotics investors, ten selected startup pitches, and the right room to actually meet the people building in robotics. Part of the Raisable Robotics Series - where Physical AI founders, investors and researchers build relationships. Who's invited to join Physical AI and robotics founders at seed. Angels, VCs and CVCs actively investing in the space. Robotics and AI researchers. Operators from frontier AI labs and robotics companies. The evening 5:30 PM - Doors open. Drinks, robots, networking 6:00 PM - Opening remarks 6:10 PM - VC panel: what investors are backing in Physical AI right now 6:40 PM - 10 startup pitches, 3 minutes each 7:30 PM - Networking by track: robots and hardware, models and data, deployment 9:00 PM - Close Want to pitch? We select 10 teams, primarily at seed. Pre-seed teams are welcome if you have a working robot or demo - idea-stage applications won't be selected. Register as a founder and include your deck and a short answer on what you're building and what you can demonstrate on the night. We prioritize teams with robots in real environments - pilots or paying deployments. Selected founders are notified by Sept 30.

About Raisable Raisable is a Silicon Valley platform and community connecting Deep Tech and AI founders, VCs, researchers, and operators through curated events, founder programs, and venture networks. We provide founders with access to capital, knowledge and networks through highly curated events and structured programs designed in collaboration with Stanford leaders. The venue Mission Robotics is the beating heart of robotics in the Mission, a shared physical AI lab and proving ground for teams whose robots don't fit in a coworking space. Floor access includes a Unitree G1, a Franka arm, a rack of SO-101s, and a Trossen arm, plus events from across embodied AI landing in the building. New Theory, the company building foundation world models for robots next door, operates it - so the room fills with funded robotics teams, research crews, and solo founders building at the frontier of physical AI. missionrobotics.ai Interested in partnering with us?
