Roam builds soft, robotic exoskeletons designed to augment human mobility and deliver new recreational experiences. Its first commercial product, Elevate, targets skiers by adding powered assistance to the legs; the device will debut as a demo rental during the Christmas holiday in select Lake Tahoe resorts and later in Park City, Utah over Presidents’ Day. By concentrating on lightweight materials and lower costs, the company aims to make exoskeletons broadly accessible, differentiating itself from incumbents like Ekso and SuitX. Investors see applications that extend beyond recreation to industrial and everyday mobility use cases. The recent financing lifts Roam’s total funding to roughly $15 million, giving the company additional resources for sales and marketing of Elevate. Yamaha partner Amish Parashar and Spero Ventures general partner Shripriya Mahesh have joined Roam’s board, signaling strategic support as the firm scales.
