Grove Talks: Founder Stories – Reinventing Manufacturing with Physical AI
What happens when one founder does an impressive validation process with over 100 companies before writing a single line of code? In this episode of ‘Grove Talks’, David Priev, CEO & Co-Founder of LimitlessCNC, sits down with Lior Handelsman to share the story of how October 7th triggered the need in boosting local manufacturing and deep market validation led to the company to disrupt the manufacturing industry with an AI CAM agent.
Watch and listen to this episode, and check the key takeaways below, about vision, resilience, and the future of Physical AI:
3 key takeaways:
- AI can fill the shortage of highly skilled employees: The manufacturing industry is at a breaking point – from knowledge bottlenecks trapped in the heads of a few, to labor shortages driven by geopolitics and a stigma that keeps younger generations away from factory jobs (despite most of the work happening in front of computers, not machines).
- A validation process is an essential for building successful startups: The founders of LimitlessCNC interviewed more than 100 potential customers in their validation process, understanding the need and helping them to shape the solution to this market. Lior mentioned that this process made Limitless CNC stand out.
- Building a moat in the AI era: Physical AI transforms from the digital realm into real-life, making it uniquely hard to replicate. LimitlessCNC is turning that difficulty into a durable advantage – making it their moat.
