Origin, founded by Indian founders in the US, raised $20M co-led by Accel and Zacua Ventures. Its OG-1 robot finishes and paints walls autonomously at 3× human speed, and sells outcomes (finished walls) rather than robots. The same platform will expand to drywall installation, flooring, and electrical/plumbing work.
