Terrafirma CEO
@noah_schochet and his co-founder started by building homemade robots out of Tupperware containers from their lunchboxes.
Today, the company announced a $100M Series A led by
@kleinerperkins.
Terrafirma's first paying customer was their landlord, who asked if their robots could demolish a building.
"We went around asking, 'Who is willing to let us make some money with these robots?' Our landlord said, 'Hey, I got a building for you to demolish. You think you guys can do it?'"
"We literally operated the robots ourselves and knocked down a couple buildings and got paid our first check."
"We were like, 'Whoa, you can just become a robotic construction company.'"
