In an interview with Pulse 2.0, Joyce Sidopoulos, co-founder and COO of MassRobotics, described MassRobotics as a nonprofit independent robotics innovation hub that provides resident startups with workspace, laboratories, an accelerator, talent development programs and corporate partnerships, and connects them with funding, talent and industry partners. MassRobotics says it has supported more than 250 robotics startups, serving as a neutral platform connecting entrepreneurs, corporations, academia, government and researchers; it neither invests in nor takes equity in resident startups that use its shared physical space. The organization says its resident companies have raised nearly $3 billion in cumulative funding and created more than 1,500 jobs.
