Overview
San Francisco–based startup building an on-demand consumer platform for humanoid robot home cleaning services. Founded in January 2026 by Aron Frishberg under parent entity West Egg Labs, Gatsby is robot-agnostic — it builds the consumer distribution layer (software, navigation, iOS app) rather than competing on humanoid hardware.
The service is live in San Francisco at a flat $150 per clean, and the company made U.S. history on May 14, 2026 by performing the first humanoid robot residential cleaning for a consumer. Backed by NVIDIA Inception and Entrepreneurs First .
