Jay-Z Invests In Robot Pizza Food Truck
Jay-Z is investing $16.5 million in a new venture, Stellar Pizza, through his Marcy Venture Partners capital firm. The pizza company is an automated, robotic pizza truck. The robot food truck is being crafted by SpaceX engineer founders Benson Tsai, Brian Langone, and James Wahawisan, along with 20 other SpaceX employees. The company is able to create a fresh pizza from scratch with selected toppings in less than five minutes. Customers will be able to order the pizza through an app, and the machine will prepare, bake, box, and cut the pizza. They plan to launch at the University of California this Fall. Beson Tsai spoke on the venture with Techeblog saying, “What we’re trying to do is very hard. I needed to recruit the best and the brightest to develop a mobile pizza machine that is basically a spaceship on wheels. I can’t even count the number of pizzas I’ve eaten.”
