David and Sajeel met in high school and later built multi-floor delivery robots together as their first company — the kind of project where every decision, from motor selection to wiring, took weeks of research to get right. David's background is mechatronics-heavy — the hands-on builder who'd spent years on side projects and 3D-printing gadgets long before it was his job. Pranav joined bringing a more software-focused background, rounding out the team that would go on to build Blueprint.

That experience is the whole reason Blueprint exists: hardware shouldn't require an engineering background to get started, and it shouldn't take weeks of research to make decisions that should take minutes. If we could build one robot, we wanted to make it possible for anyone to build theirs.
