Company Launches

tl;dr: Miru helps robotics and IoT teams painlessly deploy software over the air, provision devices, and manage versioning for their fleets.

For engineers using Miru, updating software on thousands of devices is as easy as pushing a change to GitHub.

Our Ask: Engineers in robotics and IoT, get started with Miru today!

❌ The Problem

Robotics and IoT companies don’t have robust, off-the-shelf DevOps tools.

As a result, to deploy their software, they’re forced to manually SSH/SCP into their devices or build a hacky solution internally.

But building this infrastructure is costly. These companies often need to dedicate more than half of their software team to build and maintain their custom internal tools. This balloons engineering costs and decreases product velocity.

It’s one of the reasons why many of these companies die.

🦾 Miru

Miru helps engineers build and maintain their deployment pipelines, saving them months of work.

With Miru, you can:

  1. Push changes to GitHub, and let Miru handle building, staging, and deploying your software to your devices across the world
  2. Manage devices and track software versioning on a centralized dashboard
  3. Enjoy obsessive, fast, 24/7 customer support 🫡

Installation is easy. If your device already uses Ubuntu, the Miru installation is just one command 🪄

Miru users have an unfair advantage. They enjoy reliable, scalable, and secure deployments without all the pain of building it themselves.

🧍🏼🧍🏿🧍🏾 About Us

Hi 👋🏾 - we’re Vedant, Armel, and Ben!

After meeting at our freshman dorm at UT Austin, we instantly clicked and became best friends. Whether we were playing intramural basketball or scaling our previous startup, Clips AI, to 7000 MAUs in just three months, we've proven we make an exceptional team.

Outside of Clips AI, Armel worked as a software engineer at Google and YouTube, focusing on building internal tools and infrastructure. Vedant brings experience in software GTM consulting from Bain & Co. and EY-Parthenon. Ben, our hardware fanatic, has a background in mechanical and electrical engineering, and he’s built production-ready AI and video processing infrastructure using Kubernetes.

We’re passionate about a future where robots can free humans from doing the dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks that dominate billions of people’s lives. We founded Miru to provide the infrastructure to accelerate this transition.

We’re obsessed with solving this problem. If you’re a software engineer in robotics or IoT who is struggling with deployment, we’d LOVE to make your life easier.
