Overview
- The round was led by Elaia and Speedinvest with participation from Founderful, 1st kind, 10X Founders, 2100 Ventures, and Sequoia Scout Fund, taking total funding to more than $20 million.
- New capital will accelerate a foundation physical-AI model, advance proprietary robotic hands, and expand deployments with global industry partners.
- Skilled operators wear Mimic’s proprietary devices during normal shifts to capture real-world hand motion, training imitation-learning models that adapt, handle disturbances, and self-correct.
- Mimic mounts dexterous hands on off-the-shelf robot arms, positioning this setup as simpler, more reliable, and faster to deploy than full-body humanoid robots for typical factory tasks.
- The company reports pilots with Fortune 500 and leading automotive manufacturers and targets full-scale commercial deployments within one to two years as industrial installations surpassed 540,000 last year, according to IFR data.
