About Matic
Matic is on a mission to solve everyday problems with robotics. Design Milk wrote in an article about Matic: "Matic Robot Vacuum Collects Dust but Not Your Personal Data" and I really love that quote. It's a great summary of what Matic is about: privacy-respecting, truly smart robots. The San Francisco-based startup recently raised a $24M Series A round.
