Build, manage, and scale robots just like software.
The physical world is finally programmable. Viam is the software platform that enables any engineer to build, deploy, and manage robotics applications from first prototype to global fleet.
Eliot Horowitz had seen this problem before: a technology too complex to build on, tooling too fragmented to move fast, brilliant ideas dying before they ship. As the co-founder of MongoDB, he spent over a decade solving this problem for databases. In 2020, he saw the same pattern, and he set out to build Viam: a clean, programmable stack engineers can actually build on. Get to a working robot in days, not months. Scale to a fleet without a rewrite.
