A good idea is often the easiest part. Finding a visionary who can turn those ideas into reality is much more difficult. Everyone wanted a computer that was easier to use. But it took Bill Gates to create the software that made it possible. The same thing happens in .

Founder of Ally

Meet Mitch Tolson, CEO and Founder of Ally Robotics. After helping $500 million food robotics titan Miso Robotics achieve global feats, Tolson set out to automate the rest of the world.

Here's why Tolson created Ally Robotics, how they're tackling a $114 billion market, and how you can get involved as an early investor in their game-changing technology.

Food processors are just the beginning.

The is already working to address growing labor shortages and shrinking profit margins. Industry leader Miso Robotics answered the call with a suite of robots capable of operating in commercial kitchens and raised $90 million from tech-savvy investors.

These investments have fueled partnerships with many consumer brands. Between , Jack in the Box and millions of dollars in other ongoing deals, the food robotics giant is poised to make a fortune with its frying, grilling and pouring robots.

But Miso's journey to global status required countless hours of engineering innovation, namely Mitch Tolson, whom Miso CEO Mike Bell describes as having "a unique ability to solve problems with truly innovative solutions".

It was while Tolson was helping design Miso's flagship Flippy product that he determined that the high degree of complexity required to develop and operate the robots limited their potential.

Programming a robot takes a team of engineers months, and users need computer skills to run the software. So Mitch asked, "What if designing the behavior of a robotic arm didn't require code?" He realized the potential of a no-code robotic arm to go far beyond just cooking food. It could work in almost any industry, making the potential virtually limitless. And Ally Robotics was born.

Affordable automation accessible to everyone from Ally.

Codeless robots are no longer science fiction. The core of Mitch Tolson's genius is learning by imitation: the concept that a robot can literally learn to perform tasks by watching a human do it first. — no coding required.

Using computer vision to track human poses and simulation software to allow the robot to practice its movements, Tolson is making this "teachable robot" a reality. And the results are huge cost savings (up to 70% over the competition) for any automation need.

Since assembling the Ally Expert Team, Tolson has won a $30 million contract with Miso Robotics to cut the cost of its flagship Flippy arm by at least 30%. This partnership represents potential revenue of $30 million for Ally via a non-binding letter of intent. It's a no-brainer partnership that Miso CEO Mike Bell called "simple".

But food technology is just the tip of the iceberg. Ally plans to target manufacturing next, aspiring to bring the industry back to the United States and help fight inflation by automating tasks like welding on American soil.

In addition to manufacturing, Ally's robotic arms have the potential to also take on tasks in industries like construction and agriculture. It's easy to imagine a fleet of robots helping to build skyscrapers and speed up the harvesting of crops.

All of this combined, Mitch and his team at Ally have identified a $114 billion market opportunity. But in the long run, it really is unlimited.
