Mind Robotics announced a $400 million financing round led by Kleiner Perkins, bringing the company’s total funding to more than $1 billion since its founding in 2025. The financing included participation from new investors Meritech Capital, Redpoint Ventures, SV Angel, Incharge Capital, A-Star Capital, and Garuda Ventures, alongside existing investors including Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Eclipse, Prysm Capital, Bain Capital Ventures, and Greenoaks.
The company said the financing follows a $115 million seed round completed in late 2025 and a $500 million Series A financing announced in March 2026.
Mind Robotics is developing an industrial robotics platform that combines AI foundation models, robotics hardware, and deployment infrastructure designed to automate dexterous and reasoning-intensive manufacturing tasks at industrial scale.
According to the company, Rivian serves as both a strategic partner and shareholder, providing live manufacturing environments used for robotics model training and deployment. The company said access to real-world production facilities supports development of general-purpose industrial robotics systems capable of operating in complex manufacturing workflows.
Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Mind Robotics was founded by RJ Scaringe in 2025 and is focused on building a full-stack robotics platform spanning AI software models, robotics systems, and industrial deployment infrastructure.
The company said the new financing will support scaled deployments of AI-powered robotic systems in live manufacturing environments.
