  <title>The dawn of surgery bots + buy a home for $250 (w/ Andromeda &amp;amp; Mogul) | E2313</title>
  <description>The dawn of surgery bots + buy a home for $250 (w/ Andromeda &amp;amp;amp; Mogul) | E2313   This Week In Startups is made possible by: Northwest Registered Agent https://northwestregisteredagent.com/twist CLA https://claconnect.com/withyou MongoDB https://MongoDB.com/ai   Today’s show: *Andromeda Surgical is building the autonomy layer that could one day allow robots to perform surgery. Rather than building their own intricate, complex hardware, Andromeda uses off-the-shelf arms from a German manufacturer, and focuses on the software that will allow doctors to operate it from an iPad. Plus Mogul co-founder and CEO Alex Blackwood shows Jason how his platform lets anyone buy fractional shares of rental homes for as little as $250, earning monthly dividends, appreciation, and tax benefits without the headache of being someone’s landlord. It’s a founder double feature on a brand new TWiST.
