Berkeley, April 14, 2026 — Eric took Amazoogle as a student. This spring he came back to teach it for a day, in Shomit Ghose’s SCET course on data-driven business models.

He talked about how Tensr got from Berkeley robotics to a factory floor in the Bay Area, and what a data-driven business model looks like when the data is every cut, placement, and grasp on that floor.

Spring 2026 · the Amazoogle lecture · from Eric’s post

“Recently had the opportunity to return and guest lecture UC Berkeley’s Amazoogle class taught by Shomit Ghose as part of the UC Berkeley Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (SCET) to talk about Tensør’s story so far. To the next generation of University of California, Berkeley entrepreneurs :)”
