Raviraj Jain is a trained physicist turned VC who bootstrapped his own hardware startup before joining Lightspeed, giving him deep technical grounding to evaluate AI and robotics companies from first principles while offering founder-empathetic advice from his own company-building experience. He has concentrated early on AI infrastructure and physical world automation, publicly arguing that robotics will be bigger than the Industrial Revolution and backing this thesis with investments in companies like Dexterity and Skild AI that automate complex physical workflows starting with warehouses.
