Partnership

Charge Robotics x Founders Fund

MIT News on 12 March 2025 describes Charge Robotics, founded by MIT alumni Banks Hunter and Max Justicz, as building portable factories that automatically assemble and install completed sections of utility-scale solar farms. The article says a prototype deployment built a solar farm with SOLV Energy and that Charge had raised $22 million for first commercial deployments later that year. That article does not name Founders Fund, so this summary does not state a Founders Fund round size or date (MIT News).
