Investor Andrew Kang shared his experience of heavily investing in humanoid robotics company Figure. He put $19 million into the company before even speaking to the founder, achieving an estimated 15x reprice.
Furthermore, he is using part of this position to anchor RoboStrategy ($BOT), a fund currently trading at a $700 million market cap on NASDAQ. Kang's goal is to build the 'SoftBank for robotics,' giving retail investors access to what he believes is the biggest market in history.
