Scythe builds autonomous lawnmowers to sell to commercial lawn care companies. Jack and I first got connected at Boulder Startup week in 2016, and three years later, here we are. On this episode, we dive into questions like:\nWhat are you building at Scythe?\nWhat fundamental problems does Scythe help solve?\nIs the lawnmower owned by the city, a family, or a commercial company?\nWhat knowledge did you have going into Scythe?\nWhat goes into building an autonomous lawnmower?\nWhat is Lidar and Radar, and which one did you pick for Scythe?\nDo you have plans to go beyond commercial neighborhoods\nWhat is the sales process for Scythe’s lawnmowers?\nDo you see other companies using autonomous robots in different verticals?\nWhat do you think about Boston Dynamics?\nHow do you see cities using parking lots in the future?\nWhat do you think about Tesla?\nTips for starting a company\nAnd more!!!\nLearn more about Jack on his website here. Thanks for tuning in!\nWhat is Forward Thinking Founder?\nWelcome to Forward Thinking Founder (f20r)! f20r is a podcast and publication where I interview high potential startup founders, usually before they hit their Series A. Past guests include Austen Allred, Daniel Gross, Leah Culver, Laura Behrens Wu, and many more.\nConsider it the opposite of “How I Built This”. Instead of interviewing someone after they are successful, we interview early founders with a little traction and a big vision, and hear what they want to will into the world and why. This is Forward Thinking Founder.\nGet on the email list at forwardthinking.substack.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/n90skvHZnWkXuUwHIWy-5PiFO75GvJFgDeTivSWX__E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzU3MzYvMTY2MjY3/NzQ4Mi1hcnR3b3Jr/LmpwZw.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
