How it all started

William, Arnav, and Zaid, students at Monash University, were drawn to entrepreneurship but lacked the right idea. Joining an exclusive pre-accelerator program, they sought to create something meaningful.

After months of unfeasible ideas, a mentor reminded them to focus on their strengths. Zaid, inspired by a friend's struggles with ADHD, proposed an AI-powered desk robot. The idea resonated with the team’s talents—Zaid's robotics expertise, William's software development skills, and Arnav's psychology interest.

Together, they developed STU, an MVP that gained support from psychologists, ADHD coaches, and a growing customer base, leading to the creation of Nexa Robotics.
