In this episode, I talk with Andy Stulc and Dylan Crow, co-founders of Renovate Robotics, the startup behind a shingle-installing robot named Rufus. Andy shares how his background in aerospace robotics and a frustrating home roofing experience sparked the idea, while Dylan walks us through his leap from venture capital to co-founder. 

We get into the unique engineering challenges of roofing automation, the labor and safety problems Rufus aims to address, and how they're approaching growth during uncertain economic times. Plus, we talk about Renovate’s early results, future roadmap, and how they’re building trust in a hands-on industry.
