With two decades of combined leadership experience at companies such as Boston Dynamics, Field AI, and Honeywell, the founders of Nascent Scale are on a mission to help both technology creators and industrial end users turn groundbreaking technology into measurable operational value.
“We’ve seen firsthand how promising robotics and AI programs stall during pilots,” said Tim Dykstra, Co-Founder of Nascent Scale. “Nascent Scale exists to change that — helping startups and Fortune 500 companies move from experimentation to enterprise scale with clear ROI, based on a proven track record in industry”
Bridging the Innovation-to-Adoption Gap
The firm’s name reflects its philosophy: bridging the gap between nascent technology and scaled outcomes.
Nascent Scale focuses on guiding organizations through each progressive phase of their automation journey — from identifying the right use cases and creating effective pilot programs to structuring scale across global operations, and all of the necessary phases in the journey.
The firm’s work focuses in three primary client areas:
- Technology Providers: Go-to-market acceleration, partner and channel strategy, and commercialization planning.
- End Users: Robotics and AI program design, pilot deployment frameworks, and enterprise rollout support.
- Investors: Portfolio support, due diligence insights, and interim GTM leadership for scaling portfolio companies.
“Industries like energy, utilities, and manufacturing are eager for innovation, but scaling automation requires more than just good technology,” said Chris McCasky, Co-Founder of Nascent Scale. “It takes understanding the industry, processes adaptation requirements, and aligning stakeholders to drive measurable outcomes — that’s where our experience comes in.”
