What is Menyala
Menyala is a venture builder founded by Temasek, a global investment firm headquartered in Singapore. We empower builders to drive technological shifts.
What is the role
As the EIR, you will spearhead the exploration, definition, and early execution of a new robotics data collection venture. With the freedom to shape the concept and execution, you’ll guide the venture from problem identification through validation, prototype, and MVP phases. You’ll collaborate with Menyala’s advisors, insurance experts, and technologists to test assumptions, refine product-market fit, and build a foundation for scalable growth.
The robotics industry faces a critical bottleneck: while AI models have advanced significantly, the availability of high-quality, real-world training data remains severely limited. Unlike autonomous vehicles, where companies like Waymo and Cruise have accumulated billions of miles of real-world data, most robotics applications lack access to similar comprehensive datasets. This data scarcity is particularly acute for tasks involving physical manipulation, where understanding object interaction, force feedback, and spatial relationships is crucial.
Current approaches to addressing this gap fall short. Public datasets like YouTube videos lack crucial kinematic information needed for robot learning, while synthetic data and simulations often fail to capture the nuanced physics of real-world interactions, creating problematic sim-to-real gaps. The few companies with deployed robots guard their data as a competitive advantage, creating high barriers to entry for new players and slowing overall industry progress.
The opportunity lies in building infrastructure to systematically collect, process, and distribute multi-modal robotics training data. This could involve creating specialized data collection facilities, developing tools to convert human demonstrations into robot-compatible formats, and establishing data sharing marketplaces. Success in this space could dramatically accelerate the development of general-purpose robots by providing the foundation of real-world data needed for effective learning.
As an Entrepreneur-in-Residence, you'll work alongside:
Veteran Venture Architects who've built and scaled successful companies
Product and Engineering teams with deep domain expertise
Industry advisors who understand market dynamics and opportunities
A network of potential customers, partners, and investors
What we offer:
Structured venture-building methodology to validate and launch your concept
Full stack of resources to accelerate from idea to funded company
Clear path to seed funding for validated opportunities
Deep expertise in Financial Services and Web3 markets
Ideal for:
Seasoned entrepreneurs ready for their next venture
Industry veterans with deep market insights
Technical leaders who understand scalable solutions
Domain experts passionate about solving real problems
