HABIT: Neighborhood robotics — starting with car details.

TL;DR - HABIT is building a robotic car detail. Convenience of a tunnel wash + premium services of a human detailer.

Team: SWE / Investment Banker + Applied Scientist

• Michael: prev. Sr. SWE at Radiant Nuclear ($150M+ raised); Investment Banker at JPM
• Harish: prev. AI/ML Research Scientist at Twitch & Amazon
• We both met at UC Berkeley freshman year

Americans spend $20B a year on car washes

• A single operator with locations in just 21 states earned $1B last year

But car details suck

• Automatic washes scratch paint and don’t offer services like ceramic coating ($1,500+)
• That’s why Americans spend $4.2B a year on manual details and hand washes
• Human detailers are slow (hour-long wait), expensive ($50+), and inconsistent

So HABIT is building the first robotic car detail

• Throughput and convenience of an automatic wash
• Results and premium price point of a human — starting with exterior details

Car detailing is our first vertical

• Small businesses across America don’t want to buy, maintain, or equip a humanoid fleet
• HABIT centers will act as your neighborhood’s humanoid fleet manager

Our ask: Car wash operators have been lining up for our system. So if you know a car wash operator (or are one), hit us up! founders@habitrobotics.com
