How Do I Recruit Crews to Collect Robot Training Data?

A GTM play for Revnu, for robotics, embodied AI and data collection companies. Small cleaning, removals, landscaping and trades firms work somewhere new on most jobs. Revnu finds firms of 5 to 10 people in the UK, Europe and the US, finds the owner and the company phone, and recruits them by email and LinkedIn to film their work.

Robot models need hours of real hands doing real jobs in places that all look different. A cleaner visits a new kitchen every morning. A removals crew packs a different house every day. A landscaper works a new garden every afternoon. Revnu finds small firms like these, finds the owner, and asks them to film their normal work on a head camera for pay.

Why it works

A firm of 5 to 10 people decides on one call with the owner, needs nothing from IT, and earns from hours it already works. Variety comes free: every job is a new home or site. An email that names their trade and their town reads as a paid side line, not a survey.

How to run it

Name the trades and places. Cleaning, removals, landscaping, handymen, electricians, event crews, in the cities or countries you can support.
Find the firms. Revnu searches companies in the UK, across Europe and in the US by trade, size and location, and reads each website to confirm the work is done on site.
Rank them on variety. Homes over offices, many small jobs over one long contract, crews that travel across a city.
Find the owner. The owner or managing director, the company phone from its website or registry listing, a work email where one is published or verifiable, and their LinkedIn profile.
Write by email and LinkedIn, in their language. The email names the trade and the town and offers a paid trial week with the cameras provided. A LinkedIn connection request follows, then a follow-up with what a trial week involves.
Run it city by city. Revnu runs each region as its own campaign, answers replies, books the onboarding call and records who signed up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why such small firms?

The owner is on the tools or one desk away, so a yes takes one call. A large contractor sends the same request to procurement and legal.

Does it work outside the US?

Yes. Revnu searches the UK and Europe as well as the US, writes in the owner's language and reads filed accounts where registries publish them.

Does Revnu call the owner?

No. Revnu finds the company phone so you can call, and it sends the email and LinkedIn messages itself.

How many crews can this reach?

As many as you can onboard. Revnu runs each region as its own campaign and keeps a record of every reply and sign-up.
