Choose the right perspective
Match the CFO's company model to your own, since a company selling robots outright, one leasing them on subscription and one selling software for other robots face different cash and revenue questions. Also read each person's other roles, which show whether they came from larger technology companies, investment firms or earlier robotics businesses.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you choose between selling robots outright and offering them on a subscription or robots-as-a-service model?
- 02How do you plan cash and fundraising when hardware development and manufacturing costs come long before revenue?
- 03What metrics do investors in robotics companies focus on when a company moves from pilots to large deployments?
