# Miru

> Miru is a San Francisco startup (Y Combinator S24) building configuration and deployment infrastructure for robotics and IoT fleets. Its platform lets engineers version, validate, and push software configs to thousands of devices as easily as pushing a change to GitHub, replacing the manual SSH scripts and homegrown tooling most robotics teams rely on today.

- **Founded:** 2024
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founders:** Armel Talla (Co-Founder & CEO), Vedant Nair (Co-Founder & COO), Benjamin Smidt (Co-Founder & CTO)
- **Team size:** 3-5
- **Products:** Miru Deployment Platform, Config Management, Miru Agent, APIs, SDKs & Git Integration
- **Notable:** Accepted into Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch., Launch announcement drew roughly 235 upvotes on YC's launch platform., Founding team previously scaled Clips AI to about 7,000 monthly active users in three months.

## Products & services

- **Miru Deployment Platform** — Cloud platform that automates build, staging, and over-the-air deployment of software to device fleets, triggered by GitHub pushes, with a centralized dashboard for version tracking and device management.
- **Config Management** — Tools to define, version, and deploy robot configurations. Schemas enforce structure and constraints; validation hooks check that every change is safe and compatible before it reaches a robot.
- **Miru Agent** — A lightweight systemd service running on the device that uses a pull-based model to fetch the correct config instance from the cloud, caches the latest config locally, and survives flaky networks and unexpected reboots.
- **APIs, SDKs & Git Integration** — Developer-first interfaces - REST APIs, webhooks, SDKs, and Git integration - that let teams wire configuration and deployment into existing CI/CD pipelines.

## Achievements

- Accepted into Y Combinator's Summer 2024 batch.
- Launch announcement drew roughly 235 upvotes on YC's launch platform.
- Founding team previously scaled Clips AI to about 7,000 monthly active users in three months.
- Shipped a working platform with a one-command install for Ubuntu-based devices.

## Latest updates
