From Scottsdale, AZ. Always hungry. Always creating. Grew up in music and business. Started an RIA and a SaaS company while in college, sold out, became an Army officer. Worked in Special Operations, had a blast. Civilian again, grad school at Georgetown for technology and business, consulting for the Sensitive Activities community. Developed BotBuilt with my co-founders. We're here to change the world.
Barrett AmesFounder
I build robots. I've logged time and software on NASA's valkyrie, robonaut 2, robosimian, Baxter, ATLAS, Kinova Jaco, Fetch, and Denso. Tech co-founder at BotBuilt. We're going to build a brighter future by bringing robotics to construction. When I'm not busy building robots, I'm playing with my kids or cooking. Location: Durham, NC
Colin DevineFounder
I grew up in beautiful northwest Arkansas, under the shadow of gigantic companies like Walmart, JB Hunt, and Tyson Foods. I learned from some of the best entrepreneurial mentors in the world, so finding the right idea for a startup was always on my mind while I earned my BA and MA from the University of Notre Dame and Yale University. While pursuing a Ph.D. at Duke University in political science focused on housing policy, I co-founded BotBuilt with Brent and Barrett.
