Mecka AI collects large-scale human motion data—including hand gestures and walking gaits—using custom hardware such as body sensors and everyday devices like iPhones to train embodied AI models for robots. The company began after its founders spent months studying robotics research and partnering with robotics labs to validate training robots on human data rather than teleoperation data. Mecka’s team designs custom equipment (including devices produced in Shenzhen) to capture human physical motions at scale. The startup says it has signed contracts that project an annual run rate of $100 million and currently employs about 40 people. Founders Josh Gao, Mogen Cheng, Jason Chong, and Duy Nguyen come from prior startups in payments and crypto, and the company has attracted investor interest including Framework Ventures and several institutional and angel backers. Investors describe Mecka as demonstrating strong early revenue growth, though the company declined to name customers or disclose its valuation.
