Brett Adcock founded Figure AI to build humanoid robots for commercial labor after selling his recruiting marketplace Vettery for $110 million and taking Archer Aviation (electric VTOL aircraft) public at a $1.5B valuation. He went all-in on Figure, nearly bankrupting himself personally while the company reached a $7M/month burn rate, ultimately betting that the humanoid robotics market could become one of the world's largest industries worth more than autonomous vehicles.

Jamie Siminoff built Ring, a WiFi-enabled smart doorbell with a camera, starting from a personal problem he couldn't hear his doorbell.
