Botrista, Inc.
Botrista is a San Francisco-based food-and-beverage technology company that builds an AI-driven automated beverage platform. Its flagship BotristaPro machine lets restaurants, campuses, hospitals, theme parks and other venues serve a wide range of craft cold drinks - boba teas, smoothies, refreshers, cold brew, lemonades and more - from a single compact, self-cleaning unit in seconds, without specialized baristas. Founded in 2017 by former Tesla automation engineer Sean Hsu, the company pairs patented multi-ingredient dispensing hardware with cloud-based analytics and demand forecasting, and has raised roughly $126 million to date, including a Series C led by Jollibee Foods Corporation.
