Stepan Feduniak is Co-Founder at InLoop Robotics, a YC-backed company building AI-native fulfillment powered by robotics for warehouses and factories.

Stepan began his robotics journey early, conducting robot learning research at just 18 years old, establishing a rare technical foundation in embodied AI and autonomous systems.

Stepan's core philosophy is to deploy imperfect systems into real environments, using every failure as training data to build robots that continuously improve in production.

InLoop Robotics was accepted into Y Combinator's Spring 2026 batch, raising $500K in seed funding, and has active paid pilots running in customer warehouses delivering 300+ picks per hour across hundreds of SKUs.

InLoop's robotic arms replace $100K+ integration projects per station, addressing a warehouse labor crisis where annual turnover runs nearly 50% and traditional automation costs $200K to $1M or more upfront.
