Retina Robotics is tackling the costly errors and slowdowns of manual inventory management by eliminating scanning, validation, and audits with our Warehouse Automation Module (WAM™). WAM is a compact robotic device that mounts to any existing warehouse vehicle and uses onboard computer vision and AI to track and identify any type of inventory at all times, with or without a label. Unlike drones, mobile robots, autonomous forklifts, or traditional vision systems that depend on barcodes or labels, WAM identifies inventory using visual and contextual cues (size, shape, color, text, and location) and shares that context across a swarm of WAMs to maintain a persistent identity and historical footprint even when labels are missing, damaged, or inconsistent.  In just five months since starting development and raising a $250K pre-seed round, we've reached $200K ARR across five customers (including Spreetail and Ryder) through inbound and outbound outreach with ~40% of leads converting to an initial call. Because WAM is plug-and-play, we scale quickly by shipping WAMs directly to warehouses for same-day deployment with no on-site labor from our team.
