Kyle Vogt.

Kyle Vogt is a serial entrepreneur whose companies have defined multiple technology categories.

In 2024, he founded The Bot Company, a new venture developing household robots, raising $150 million at a $500 million valuation shortly after launch. Previously, Vogt co-founded Cruise, the self-driving car company, which was acquired by General Motors for approximately $1 billion in 2016. Under his leadership, Cruise became one of the first companies to deploy autonomous ride-hailing service to paying customers in San Francisco. Before Cruise, Vogt co-founded Justin.tv, which later pivoted to become Twitch, the live-streaming platform that Amazon acquired for $970 million in 2014. Vogt studied electrical engineering and computer science at MIT before leaving to pursue entrepreneurship. His ability to build and exit multiple category-defining companies across live-streaming, autonomous vehicles, and consumer robotics demonstrates an exceptionally rare entrepreneurial range. His current work at The Bot Company positions him at the frontier of consumer robotics, a category many predict will define the next decade of technology innovation.
