- Walden Robotics
Participated · Seed · Jul 2026
Walden Robotics develops and deploys general-purpose robots powered by Large Behavior Models and other Physical AI advances to perform useful work in manufacturing, logistics, and other industries. Founded in 2026 and launched out of Toyota Research Institute, the company combines foundational robotics research with in-house operations teams to bring robots into production environments. Walden reports that its robots have been operating in production at a Toyota plant in North America since February, progressing from pilot to real work in under two months. The company has strategic partnerships across automotive, aerospace, semiconductors, electronics, logistics, and life sciences and emphasizes human-centered deployment where robots work side-by-side with people. Walden’s stated plans center on scaling commercial deployments and continuous on-the-job learning to improve capabilities over time. Financially, the company announced a $300 million seed round at a $1.1 billion valuation led by Toyota and Deviation Capital, providing capital to support its launch and customer expansion.
- Singularity Defense
Participated · Series A · Jul 2026
Singularity Defense develops air-defense and counter-weapon systems designed to defeat proliferating low-cost drones and munitions. The company emphasizes rapid iterative testing and vertical integration to deliver capabilities at the speed, scale, and cost the threat demands. Its leadership includes founders Jack Oswald and shail giroux and a team with engineers from SpaceX, Tesla and Anduril alongside operators who have frontline experience. Singularity emerged from stealth concurrent with an oversubscribed $80 million Series A announced by AE Ventures. The company frames its mission around protecting people on the battlefield and at home and is positioning to scale development and deployment rapidly. Public communications highlight urgency and a focus on engineering counter-weapon systems at scale.
- Copia Automation
Led · Equity · Jun 2026
Copia Automation offers a platform that provides visibility, traceability, and control across the full automation lifecycle for industrial organizations. The company focuses on managing, versioning, backing up, and recovering PLC and other automation device code to help maximize uptime, strengthen governance, and improve cyber resilience. Copia positions its product as a single system of record for OT teams and executives accountable for compliance and incident response. The company supports flexible deployments including cloud, customer-managed data centers, and air-gapped environments. Copia will use recent funding to accelerate product development and expand capabilities for validated backups, version control, and AI-assisted coding tools. As of this raise, the company has announced a total of $55 million in capital raised.
- JuliaHub
Participated · Series B · Apr 2026
JuliaHub develops Scientific Machine Learning tools and agentic AI for physical systems engineering, centering on Dyad, a platform that connects autonomous agents with scalable physics simulation, control synthesis, safety analysis, and auto-generated embedded code. Dyad 3.0 is being launched commercially after prior releases in June and December 2025, and the company says several Fortune 100 customers across aerospace, automotive, HVAC, utilities and government are using its tools. The company was founded in 2015 by the creators of the Julia programming language, which is used by over a million developers. JuliaHub highlights partnerships and integrations—e.g., with Synopsys/Ansys TwinAI and Binnies—that produced high-fidelity digital twins and a pump-fault predictor with over 90% accuracy using four sensors. JuliaHub positions Dyad to compress engineering design, testing and iteration from months to minutes and intends to scale commercial adoption with the newly raised capital.
- Reliable Robotics Corporation
Participated · Equity · Apr 2026
Reliable Robotics develops the Reliable Autonomy System (RAS), an FAA-certifiable autonomy stack designed to enable fully automated aircraft operations and prevent the leading causes of aviation accidents. The company says RAS is built to integrate with certified aircraft and existing aviation infrastructure without changes to the National Airspace System. Reliable has secured commitments for over 200 systems from commercial and military customers, been selected for the Department of Transportation’s eIPP advanced aviation pilot program, and holds a contract to provide automated air cargo operations for the U.S. Air Force. The business has been advancing FAA certification—having had its certification plans and means of compliance accepted—and is delivering required compliance materials under the FAA-agreed plan. Since its last financing the company has nearly tripled its workforce and plans to use the new $160M to expand production facilities, grow headcount, and accelerate deployment toward autonomous cargo operations in 2026. The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California and maintains a distributed global workforce.
