As artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to improve and hardware costs continue to drop, the applications for robotics and automation must continue to expand. This wave is cresting with more investment every year and many successful founders showing the world what is possible. Fun times! There is still far more to be done, and we are excited to be part of it! We invest in purposeful businesses Larry Page often says "solving big problems is easier than solving little problems". What he means is that we'll work just as hard on a huge problem as we would on a small problem. So we should choose big problems that matter! At ARV we invest in businesses with purpose, aimed at some of the biggest problems facing our world. This also aligns with Paul Graham's advice to do things that don't scale (at first).
