About
The part that touches the world.
In robotics, the end effector is the tool, the gripper, the thing that actually does the work. It's where intention becomes action.
The End Effector is independent research and analysis for the hardest, most important technology markets on earth — robotics, energy systems, space, advanced manufacturing, quantum, AI, defense, and the systems woven between them.
We equip investors, founders, and strategists with the analytical depth to operate confidently in frontier technology — where the science is real, the timelines are long, and the stakes are high.
Who's behind this
Jonathan ‘JMill’ Miller
I teach Robotics Essentials at MIT, run Tough Tech on Tap networking events across the innovation ecosystem, and have developed investment theses for partners in risk capital, large enterprise, and national-scale programs.
The End Effector grew out of a simple observation: the people writing the biggest checks in frontier technology often have the least fluency in the science behind what they're funding. I built this platform to close that gap — with rigor, with a point of view, and without the fluff.
