Watney

Watney builds autonomous robots to handle the ugly, manual work inside datacenters—hardware swaps, cable management, cooling maintenance—and they’ve already locked in partnerships with the largest hyperscalers. Founder Sean Cheong, a Berkeley engineer who previously founded another company, raised from A*, Abstract Ventures, and Valor Equity Partners to attack a market burning billions in operational spend. This isn’t sci-fi; it’s brutal, real infrastructure work, and they’re shipping it now.
