Who we are:
Formic is on a mission to reshape American manufacturing by making automation accessible to every factory. As labor constraints rise, costs increase, and global competition intensifies, automation is no longer optional for manufacturers that want to stay competitive.
We deliver automation through a Robotics-as-a-Service model that combines industrial robotics, proprietary software, and full-service support into a single, integrated solution. By removing the traditional barriers of cost, complexity, and risk, we enable manufacturers to deploy automation quickly and realize measurable gains in throughput, safety, and operational efficiency without large upfront capital investment.
Backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Initialized Capital, Blackhorn Ventures, and Mitsubishi HC Capital North America, Formic is scaling rapidly and building the foundation for a new era of high-performance, Made in America production.
About the team:
Formic’s Finance team enables disciplined growth across our Robotics-as-a-Service platform. The team oversees capital strategy, treasury, credit, financial operations, compliance, accounting, and investor engagement. As Formic scales nationally, Finance ensures capital is deployed intelligently, portfolio performance remains strong, and the company maintains long-term financial resilience.
Finance operates at the center of strategy and execution. It connects operational performance to capital markets, aligns deployment velocity with balance sheet strength, and supports executive decision-making with rigorous financial insight.
