At Formic, we want to increase the collective output of humanity - without creating drudgery for the worlds' workforce.

We want 'building things' to become trivial and easy. Every factory should have access to unlimited 'labor' through robotics and automation. We are building technology, financing, operations and services so that robotics are fast and easy to deploy.

Formic is a venture-backed startup focused on unlocking robotic automation for large, meaningful markets and labor-starved industries such as food and beverage, advanced manufacturing and other industrial settings. We combine financial innovation with a firm understanding of what robotics are capable of, to enable manufacturing customers to scale up their manufacturing capacity quickly and with minimal risk. We plan to deploy $100m of automation solutions into the manufacturing industry over the next 18 months.
