A solo founder who previously shut down his own company and has no robotics background spent four weeks holding more than 60 conversations with robotics founders, researchers, engineers and data buyers and sellers in San Francisco.

He reports that generic egocentric video data is now low margin and saturated.

According to his account, labs increasingly want labeled, hardware-specific data, including teleoperation demonstrations, field failure cases, and touch and force data. He says labeling, not collection, is the quiet bottleneck, and that the data middleman space is crowded.
