Mojtaba Mozaffar
Founder of Shiraz AI, Robots that learn on the job
Company
Mojtaba Mozaffar is listed as a founder of Shiraz AI. We deploy robots that learn new tasks from a single human demonstration in the factory. We're starting in contract manufacturing, where lines change every week and both traditional automation and today's VLAs fall over. Our founding team has 20+ years of experience in robotics. Navid was part of the core team that productized Spot at Boston Dynamics and led manipulation projects there. Before that, he was at Rethink Robotics. Mojtaba led whole-body control and manipulation efforts at Amazon Robotics and was a Research Assistant Professor at Northwestern University.

Big update: Shiraz AI (YC S26) is official! @realnavida and I have joined @ycombinator's Summer 2026 batch and moved to SF to build robots for manufacturing — more coming soon :) If you're in robotics, manufacturing, or just around SF — I'd love to connect and chat! https://t.co/Dg6XqLwiXv
