Artly Coffee
"The Barista Bot"
Seattle robotic-coffee company founded by ex-Amazon engineers; operates five West Coast cafes and has raised 10 million dollars to date.
Artly Coffee is a Seattle, Washington-based company founded by Meng Wang and Yushan Chen. Before starting Artly, Wang co-founded the image-recognition company Orbeus, which was acquired by Amazon in 2015, after which he spent several years at Amazon Web Services as a principal scientist; Chen previously worked at Amazon as a senior technical product manager in robotics.
Artly builds AI-guided robotic espresso machines that use computer-vision monitoring and robotic arms to grind, tamp, steam, and pour drinks, aiming to reproduce the technique of trained baristas rather than following fixed pre-programmed motions. The company operates five retail coffee locations across the West Coast of the United States, sources and roasts its own beans, and has run a retail partnership with the clothing retailer Muji in Portland, Oregon.
Artly has raised a total of USD 10 million across several rounds, including an USD 8.3 million round in 2022 backed by investors such as SV Tech Ventures, Amino Capital, LDV Partners, and Aimtop Ventures. The company employs about 15 people and markets its machines to high-traffic commercial locations such as offices and retail centers in addition to its own cafes.
