About
Natan Linder co-founded Tulip Interfaces in 2014 out of MIT's Media Lab to give frontline factory workers no-code apps and digital work instructions, replacing the binders and clipboards that still dominate most American shop floors. He previously co-founded Formlabs, the desktop stereolithography 3D printing company, and brings hardware founder discipline to a software product. He holds a PhD from MIT Media Lab's Fluid Interfaces group and an SM in Media Arts and Sciences from MIT, where he worked under Professor Pattie Maes. Tulip has raised $291 million across six rounds and is valued above $1 billion, with manufacturing customers across automotive, aerospace, and medical devices. Linder argues the productivity ceiling on US manufacturing is set by how fast frontline workers can learn and execute new processes, and that ceiling is software.
