AI overview

Amulya Vishwanath, who previously led robotics platform product marketing at Nvidia, has founded Techable VC and announced its first investment in companies at the intersection of robotics, materials science, and life sciences. She argues that physical AI extends beyond robotics to include molecular, material, and pharmaceutical applications. Vishwanath cites industry pain points such as family‑owned manufacturing and surgeon burnout as opportunities for impact. Leveraging her Nvidia experience and network, she believes Techable VC can serve as a protective moat for startups, helping them bring technology to market.
