01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Electric Sheep (Electric Sheep Robotics) was a San Anselmo, California robotics company founded in 2019 by Nag Murty (CEO) and Jarrett Herold (COO). It built AI-driven autonomous robots for outdoor work — mowing, trimming, edging, and blowing — powered by machine learning and large world models that let robots explore, map, and navigate job sites without an on-site engineer. It pursued a vertically integrated model: acquiring traditional landscaping businesses (including Westar and Caliscapes) and deploying its robotic technology to raise their efficiency and margins. The company raised $25.5 million from investors including Foundation Capital, Tiger Global, and Signia Venture Partners.
