Today, KAIKAKU is joining REEF. We are bringing together two companies obsessed with the same seemingly impossible idea: that the food system, one of the oldest systems humans have built, can be rebuilt from the ground up with robotics and AI. And that doing so can make food more abundant, more reliable and more human, all at once. We engineered the autonomy. REEF built the platform and scale to deploy it, having raised more than $1.5 billion in venture capital from investors including SoftBank and Mubadala. When Ivan and myself started in 2023, we made a deliberate choice to begin with the hardest version of the problem. Real customers, real revenue and real daily problems instead of a polished demo. We opened Common Room, which became one of London’s highest-rated bowl restaurants. We built five generations of Fusion, our food-assembly robot. The latest one could make up to 360 bowls an hour from a footprint the size of a small café and tested both in our own restaurant but also large multi-site chains. We raised a $4 million unannounced seed round in an industry that, frankly, most investors had written off as unsexy. We built one of the most formidable hardware engineering cultures and an incredible team who've been through it all. None of this would have happened without the customers who trusted us, the investors who backed an unfashionable idea, and most importantly, our team. We're not here to merely to build an impressive robot. We're here to prove that the technology was ready, the unit economics worked and the only thing left was scale. REEF is that scale. More soon. | 187 comments on LinkedIn
