01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Bistrobot was a San Francisco food-robotics startup whose pitch was 'we make robots that make sandwiches'. Its robot prepared sandwiches in front of customers - peanut butter plus toppings like honey, blackberry jam, sweet chili or chocolate sauce for $2 at an early market demo - turning food preparation into a shareable experience. It went through Y Combinator's Summer 2015 batch, raising roughly $120K-$170K in seed funding from Y Combinator. No reliable public source documents an acquisition or a confirmed shutdown of the company.
