Investors trying to value humanoid robotics startups may need to rethink traditional metrics. In an exclusive email interview with Benzinga, RoboStrategy, Inc. (NASDAQ:BOT) CEO Andrew Kang said current revenue tells only a small part of the story for companies targeting massive future markets.
To illustrate the point, he noted Anthropic's rapid rise as an example of how quickly frontier AI companies can scale.
Kang noted that "Anthropic went from $10m in revenue in 2022 to expected $65B ARR in 2026," arguing that robotics investors should also focus on long-term growth potential rather than near-term sales alone.
While discounted future cash flows and production forecasts remain important, he said qualitative factors—including the quality of a company's hardware, its ability to scale manufacturing and the performance of its robot foundation models—will increasingly shape valuations.
