Robotic Cofounder Tech Development CTO wanted for Strawberry-Picking Robot Startup

Hi,
we want to revolutionize Robotics with machines that can interact better with the environment. Developing new technologies opens up new possible applications and markets that we want to address.
A first application is picking fruits in the field.

Ideal but not mandatory would be a CS or Engineering (combined with Management) degree.
Startup-Knowledge (Lean Startup etc.)
Ideally you already made some experience in a startup.

• Machine Learning
• Entwicklung
• KI
• AI/ML
• AI

You have strengths in...

• numbers, data and logic
• structuring and strategic thinking

You already have...

• founded a company
• participated in an accelerator/incubator

The next goals are to create a prototype and a first round of seed investment.
For this we need a machine learning specialist. Ideally you have experience in deep learning in python etc. and a strong mathematical background.
As a cofounder you would define your role yourself, depending on your strength.

We would have to find out whether the team is a fit, since we will be spending a lot of time together starting a business. Startup means committing oneself for 4-5 years.
And business angels expect 120% commitment.

Typical Startup situation (flat hierarchies, lean startup management, trial-and-error attitude etc.).
The project has been running for several years, so a lot has already been developed and the prototype is almost finished. We have already successfully completed several grants.
Here you don't have a long lead time and there is less risk than with a newly founded startup. So within the next six months we will know whether it will be successful or not as opposed to usual 2 years of initial uncertainty.
With additional grants we can initially stay afloat and then target a seed investment round within the next six months. Contacts with potential customers and business angels have already been established.

Join the robot revolution.
