About Us
Formic is on a mission to reshape American manufacturing by making automation accessible to every factory. As labor constraints rise, costs increase, and global competition intensifies, automation is no longer optional for manufacturers that want to stay competitive. We deliver automation through a Robotics‑as‑a‑Service model that combines industrial robotics, proprietary software, and full‑service support into a single, integrated solution. By removing the traditional barriers of cost, complexity, and risk, we enable manufacturers to deploy automation quickly and realize measurable gains in throughput, safety, and operational efficiency without large upfront capital investment.
Backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Initialized Capital, Blackhorn Ventures, and Mitsubishi HC Capital North America, Formic is scaling rapidly and building the foundation for a new era of high‑performance, Made in America production.

Compensation Philosophy
Formic’s compensation packages—including salaries and equity—are benchmarked against peer companies at a similar growth stage. Equity is a critical part of the mutual investment: when Formic succeeds, so do you. Final packages are customized based on candidate preference for cash versus equity balance, experience, geographic location, and market considerations. The goal is to attract and reward top talent who will significantly impact the organization, and we remain open to meaningful discussions about compensation structure.
Operating Principles
- Fearless Optimism: Make bold bets, stay optimistic, and prefer action over inaction. View ambiguity as opportunity and bring energy to building what doesn’t yet exist.
- Create the Magic: Absorb complexity so customers don’t have to. Deliver clear, fast, value‑added, outcome‑driven experiences and take ownership of tasks beyond a narrow scope.
- Today, Not Tomorrow: Bias toward action, close the loop, take extreme ownership, and prioritize speed that compounds results over mere activity.
- Seek Truth: Think from first principles, value data over ego, hold strong opinions loosely, and challenge assumptions—including your own—to find the best answer.
- Made of Rubber: Be resolute and adaptable; rebound stronger from setbacks, treat them as learning moments, and move forward with grit.
- One Formic: Operate without silos, practice radical helpfulness, document clearly, make clean handoffs, assume positive intent, and prioritize team success over individual credit.
