ODrive Robotics, Inc

A project log for ODrive - High performance motor control

Hobby brushless motors are incredibly cheap and powerful. However we need a way to make robots out of them. ODrive is that way.

ODrive Robotics, Inc has now been incorporated in the state of Delaware.

This may sound very fancy, but it's actually still just me working on this. But hopefully that will change soon!

Fundraising and Recruiting

With the company entity formed, I can now start equity fundraising and give shares in the company in exchange for investment money. Hopefully I can raise enough money to hire another full-time developer. Alternatively I might find someone who is interested in joining as a late-stage co-founder.

In either case, I hope to grow the headcount to 2 imminently, which should help to speed up development significantly.

Interest in ODrive v3.3

Since the sign-up for getting notified when ODrive v3.3 is available opened about 6 weeks ago, there has been an average of almost 4 signups per day. This means that the coming batch of 100 ODrive v3.3's is already oversubscribed. So just a head's up, they may sell out fairly quick once released.

I'll make sure to send out the notification of when exactly they will be released a couple of days in advance of the release.

ODrive v3.3 signups over time.

Where are you locating the ODrive startup? I noticed you did a collab video with William, and he's in Socal.
