Enigma, a physical AI company, emerged from stealth with a $71 million seed round. Index Ventures and Ribbit Capital led the round, with participation from Conviction Partners and leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, xAI, Cognition, and Wiz.
Founded less than a year ago by Jonathan Jacobi and Gal Niv, Enigma builds AI models to make robots intelligent and easy to use across different hardware. The company also builds novel user interfaces for those robots. Enigma launched the world’s first interactive AI robotics experience at robots.online, allowing anyone to interact with real AI-powered robots in real time.
The company said it has developed more efficient ways to train its foundation models for robotics, lowering the need for massive manual data collection while keeping systems reliable in physical environments. Investors poured more than $40 billion into robotics in 2025, with humanoids projected to become a multi-trillion-dollar category.
