In mid-2024, Vogt revealed the launch of a new venture called The Bot Company, a robotics company focused on household tasks, however, the products are yet to be unveiled to the public.

Recently, Reuters reported unconfirmed news that The Bot Company has raised a fresh funding round of $150 million, valuing the company at $2 billion despite lacking any products. The company previously raised $150 million last year, valuing it at $550 million back then.
