In this episode of Experienced Voices, host Jeanne Gray sits down with Stephen Burns, Founder and Chairman of the Board at NoTip.

Stephen is tackling a large-scale opportunity in local commerce: reinventing last-mile delivery using autonomous vehicles and robotics. 

With online delivery projected to hit $500B+ by 2030, NoTip replaces high fees and tipping with a flat $6 model for food, grocery, and local retail.

A serial entrepreneur with 30+ years of experience, Stephen previously founded Workhorse Group (NASDAQ: WKHS) and Lordstown Motors, and built Mobile Voice Control (acquired by Nuance). 

Now, alongside a team from Tesla, Honeywell, and Cypress Semiconductor, he’s building the autonomous infrastructure for the future of logistics.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The economic breaking point of traditional delivery apps
  • Combining autonomous cars and robots for the “last 100 feet”
  • Lessons from scaling EV and tech ventures
