@vaibhav514g, 21 yo, was 12 hours into ideating in space-tech when cold-outreached his way to a founding engineer from SpaceX who raised $X00M.
That was my first introduction to him. 2 AM in our Bangalore office, in the middle of our selection hackathon, 18 months ago.
Since then, he has shown the exact same intensity and energy in everything he does.
In his first weeks at
@join_ef, his plan for a single weekend was to cold call 500+ numbers. When it was time to sell in the US, he got on a plane to meet people in person.
Vaibhav dropped out of IIT Bombay, one of India's most selective engineering schools, where he studied electrical engineering.
His co-founder
@fliptrail's research at Microsoft Research was highlighted by Satya Nadella and demoed by Bill Gates, and Amish graduated with the Best Bachelor Thesis award, 3 research papers, a US patent application and 170+ citations.
Within weeks of teaming up, they had pilot requests from 3 robotics companies.
Today,
@saturnlabsai captures the real-world human data robots learn from. On just $250K raised, it already has
$XXM in annualized revenue from the biggest humanoid company and the leading robot foundation model labs.
Vaibhav presents Saturn Labs at EF Demo Day today as they kick off their seed round.
Proud to have known Vaibhav since that night at 2 AM, and to have watched him and Amish build this together.
