Congratulations to Fellows Fund's new Robotics portfolio - K-Scale Labs! Today at YC Demo Day, K-Scale is launching as the very first one! Congrats to Benjamin Bolte Matt Freed and the whole team! If you're unfamiliar with the meaning of K-Scale, it refers to a concept stemming from the Kardashev scale, proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964. The Kardashev scale measures a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it can harness and utilize. It classifies civilizations into three types based on their ability to access and control energy, from planetary to galactic scales: https://lnkd.in/gwt6Acqc Join us in building Open Source Humanoid Robots with K-Scale Labs!
