Tau9 Labs – Bronze Sponsor
Tau9 Labs builds bespoke software solutions for manufacturers. What makes us unique is our combination of manufacturing DNA and AI-native execution. Alex has a PhD in robotics from Stanford and Chandler is from the big tech + logistics world. Most dev shops can code but don’t understand the intricacies of re-arranging atoms. And most manufacturing consultants can’t ship sophisticated software. Real value is found at the cross-section: translating context from the factory floor into productive code. Fast. AI-enabled code has flipped the economics of software customization. Solutions that used to take years can now create value in weeks. This unlocks opportunities to improve production processes that were too specific for off-the-shelf SaaS, but too high-ROI to ignore any longer. LinkedIN
