About Industrial Next

We're building the brain for the factory floor, developing AI-driven robotic systems powered by a proprietary foundation model for the difficult, contact-rich manufacturing tasks where conventional automation falls short. Founded by veterans of Tesla, Waymo, Ford, and GM who built the systems that brought modern autonomy into manufacturing, IndustrialNext is bringing that same intelligence to the factory floor: autonomous factories that are cost-competitive at any scale, anywhere. Backed by Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, Lenovo, AlphaX Partners, and Plug and Play.
