Trashbots Raises Seed-Stage Investment as Demand for its K-12 Robotics Platform Increases

Funding Rounds

▤ Summary

Trashbots plans to use the funding to expand its supply chains and inventory and on marketing and hiring two or three additional employees. Trashbots is also able to run a really lean company and tap into talent pools at the university level by providing students with hands-on experience working on a robotics startup, Rohit Srinivasan said. Today, Rohit is a junior studying engineering at the University of Texas at Austin and Sidharth has graduated from Westlake High School and deferred his acceptance to Stanford for a year to work on Trashbots full time. It also introduced them to their current COO Chris Strzok, who lives in Wisconsin and has a background in STEM education. Students have made fishing rods, ball kickers, construction machines, and even a robot that makes music with the kits, Rohit Srinivasan said.
