Skyline Robotics – the developers of Ozmo, which is the world’s first robotic-armed window cleaning robot – recently announced the closing of a $9.8 millionPre-Series A-2 funding (including the conversion of SAFE Notes) round led by Standard Skyline LLC with additional contributions from Durst Ventures, the venture capital investment arm of the Durst Organization, and HNW individuals. So far, Skyline Robotics has raised $19.4 million. This latest funding round will support Ozmo’s expansion into NYC and London, grow the R&D team to bolster Ozmo’s service offerings, and formalize Skyline’s new construction line of business.
Skyline’s funding announcement comes amid a global expansion as it recently announced a partnership with Principle Cleaning Services to bring Ozmo window-cleaning robots to the London skyline. And Skyline has also secured key patents from Japan and Singapore as it aims to bring Ozmo to cities and skyscrapers across the world.
Ozmo utilizes artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision with advanced robotics and sensors. And with Ozmo, window cleaning can be performed up to three times faster than humans without putting workers at risk. The result is a smarter, faster, safer, and more economical alternative to human window washers.
