Derik Pridmore, CEO, co-founder, OSARO.
In this conversation, Pridmore breaks down how warehouse robotics has evolved from limited perception systems to adaptable AI-driven automation. He shares why hardware-agnostic design, continuous learning, and real-world monitoring matter more than flashy demos — and why the biggest breakthroughs in robotics still depend on balancing specificity, reliability, and safety.
Pridmore co-founded OSARO in 2015 to specialize in AI software for industrial automation, offering integrated perception and control software for industrial scale robotic deployment.
He has over a decade of investment experience, including roles at Founders Fund and Arda Capital Management. He invested in DeepMind and Clarifai.
