2022 Robotics Pitchfire Competition

RoboBusiness provides a forum for the robotics sector to network with industry peers, learn about the latest technical and business trends, exchange ideas, and uncover new opportunities, all designed to drive innovation and spurring industry growth. Central to this vision is launching and developing new robotics companies.
$5,000 Prize For seven years, Pitchfire has been a must-attend event where robotics startups compete for a $5,000 first-place prize at RoboBusiness. Pitchfire will be covered by The Robot Report, Robotics Business Review and Mobile Robot Guide, as well as other media publications. Startups participating in Pitchfire will also gain invaluable experience by presenting in front of the entire RoboBusiness, receiving feedback from industry investors and advisors, networking with industry leaders and more.
Previous RoboBusiness Pitchfire winners include:
  • 2019: Tombot (Companion robot for emotional support)
  • 2018: Southie Autonomy (Software supporting code free robotics programming)
  • 2017: UnitDoseOne (Pharmaceutical dispenser)
  • 2016: The Kobi Company (Outdoor mobile robotics platform)
  • 2015: Autonomous Marine Systems (Autonomous sailing platform)
  • 2014: nLink (Mobile drilling platform for construction)
  • 2013: Unbounded Robotics (Mobile service robots)
Fast Passed and Lively During Pitchfire, five startups will deliver a 5-minute ‘pitch’ to a panel of judges – along with RoboBusiness attendees – describing their company’s solution, business model, value proposition and more. After all contestants have pitched, Pitchfire judges will compare notes, come to a consensus, and announce a two runners-up and a winner based on who they believe to be best primed for commercial success. Pitchfire takes place October 19 following the last sessions of the day. Host Andra Keay, Managing Director of Silicon Valley Robotics, is sure to keep things moving and lively. Fast paced, dynamic and fun, Pitchfire is a perennial favorite among RoboBusiness attendees.
