Americans spend nearly $110 billion a year on coffee. They love it, but don’t want to wait for it.
Thirty percent of customers forgo a trip to Starbucks or Dunkin’ if the line is too long. That’s eight billion dollars in lost sales.
p!ng aims to capture these sales. This company has developed fast coffee drive-thru stations, powered by robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These stations look like storage pods, but are designed to quickly serve coffee 24/7.
p!ng has already raised funds from venture-capital firms and has received a six-figure grant from MassRobotics Accelerator. Last year, the company was recognized as one of the top 100 robotics startups to watch in the world.
p!ng is raising capital to build three more pods in 2026 and to prepare to scale up with licensees in 2027.
