Luigi Dintrono and Raul RomeroM met 10 years ago on a Venezuela-to-US scholarship. When they started Kite (now trainrobotsfast, building training harnesses for next-gen robots), they agreed to hit funding and traction milestones by June or shut down. They delivered, joined theResidency, and run with extreme intensity — Luigi at his desk 8am to midnight daily, Raul flying overnight from Boston for single investor meetings.
