18
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Learn how top robotics founders are using retail capital to power bold growth—without compromising control.
Overview:
From seed stage to public company, capital should fuel your vision—not limit it.
In this exclusive session, hear from the robotics leaders who refused to follow the standard playbook. They didn’t wait for VC approval or chase elusive institutional rounds. Instead, they tapped into retail capital to scale on their own terms—and turned their communities into a long-term strategic asset.
Whether you’re building the next category-defining robotics company or looking for new ways to fund your roadmap, this conversation will give you a clear look at what’s possible—and how to get there.

- How robotics founders are using Reg CF and Reg A+ to raise tens of millions—while staying true to their mission
- Why retail investors are more than capital—they’re your advocates, customers, and signal boosters
- Real stories from companies that scaled without compromising ownership or vision
- How DealMaker powers these raises—from startup to IPO and beyond
