Rodney Brooks who founded Rethink Robotics has definately an interesting story. Especially knowing that Rethink Robotics had initially raised money from Jeff Bezos, Goldman Sachs, something like 150M I believe. But despite all those high profile backers, it had to shut down in late 2018 i believe and was acquired by the Hahn Group, a German automation company.
