Liam Osler

Can’t sleep on Liam Osler – this guy’s a straight-up tech wizard and a total beast when it comes to startups. So, Liam’s part of YC’s S24 batch, which already means he’s crushing it. But what’s really cool is his story. He’s the co-founder and CTO of Drillbit, a fresh startup that just launched in 2023, and man, this thing is the real deal. They’re all about using AI to automate all those boring admin and operational headaches for home service businesses – think contractors, plumbers, electricians – you name it. They’ve got AI receptionists, quoting engines, CRM tools, the whole package, all aimed at making these businesses run smoother and faster.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Liam didn’t just wake up and start Drillbit. Nah, he’s been in the trenches for a while. Before this, he and the CEO of Drillbit, Alexander Seutin, were deep into robotics for industrial construction. They built robots for some heavy-duty stuff – super technical, super engineering-heavy. That background gave Liam a crazy solid foundation in robotics and AI, which he then pivoted into software for home services. So, he’s got this rare combo: hardcore robotics experience plus a killer instinct for startups.

And it’s not like he’s new to the game either. Liam was also a co-founder at Roin Technologies, which was backed by YC too. That company got acquired by Built Robotics, and Liam served as the Director of Engineering there. Basically, he’s been part of some high-stakes, high-impact moves in the tech world. He’s not just playing around – he’s all about building stuff that actually changes the game.

What does this all say about him? Honestly, Liam’s the type of founder who’s driven by real technical chops but also knows how to jump into markets that need disruption. He’s the guy who sees a problem, digs into it with engineering horsepower, and then builds something that’s gonna crush the bullshit. He’s got that startup hustle, but he’s also got the brains to back it up. That mix? That’s what makes him so important – he’s not just riding trends, he’s creating the future of automation for everyday businesses.

In short, Liam Osler is this rare blend of hardcore engineer and startup killer. He’s got the experience, the vision, and the chops to turn AI and robotics into tools that actually make life easier for people. That’s why he’s someone to watch – he’s shaping how industries will run in the next decade, no cap.
