Description:
Armed with more than $750 million in funding, Brett Adcock vows that Figure will become one of the most important businesses in the world. First, there is a lot of work to do. Adcock, the 38-year-old founder and CEO of robot maker Figure, is riding high. In January, the company announced a collaboration with BMW, with the goal of putting Figure’s robots to work at the German automaker’s Spartanburg, South Carolina manufacturing plant. Six weeks later, Figure raised $675 million at a $2.6 billion valuation from the likes of Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI Startup Fund and Jeff Bezos. At the same time, Figure signed a collaboration agreement with OpenAI to develop next generation AI models for humanoid robots. <br/><br/>The valuation makes Adcock, who owns about 50% of the Sunnyvale, California company, a new billionaire. With his Figure stake and shares from a previous startup, he’s worth an estimated $1.4 billion. <br/>Even with all the money in the world, success is not assured.<br/><br/>0:00 Intro<br/>0:35 Who is Brett Adcock?<br/>1:45 Building the Figure Team <br/>2:18 What Makes Figure Different?<br/>3:16 Figure 01 Demonstration<br/>4:44 Training Humanoids<br/>6:47 The Future of Robots <br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kerryadolan/2024/04/15/meet-the-new-ai-robot-billionaire/?sh=4eef9f7f7c32<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
