About GRAM

GRAM is an AI and robotics startup headquartered in El Segundo, California, on a mission to make humanity galactic by solving the physical labor bottleneck that prevents space industrialization. The company is developing six-legged insectoid robots capable of climbing and traversing complex steel structures, with technical expertise spanning hardware, controls, reinforcement learning, multi-agent coordination, materials science, and world models. GRAM's long-term vision spans decades, aiming to build self-replicating machine systems that can autonomously construct infrastructure to enable humanity's expansion across the Milky Way. Led by CEO Ulyss and COO Mike Norrell—a veteran of multiple robotics startups—the early-stage team of fewer than 10 people is already engaging with customers and managing a backlog of demand.
