Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Brisbane, CA, Mytra develops an operating system that abstracts material flow into programmable primitives—move, store, pick, and route—enabling flexible, software-defined automation for warehouses and factories. The platform targets the 80% of industrial sites that currently have no automation by reducing cost and complexity while reclaiming aisle and clearance space; early deployments have cut material-handling labor by 32% and improved storage density by 34%. In 2025 the company secured contracts with a Fortune 100 food company and a Fortune 500 industrial-supply distributor, including one deployment 60× larger than any previous installation. Operational momentum included shipping two pilot systems, bringing a new facility seven times larger than its prior space online, and expanding headcount by 78% while adding senior executives such as a CFO, Chief Development Officer, and VP of Scaling. Former Tesla CFO Zach Kirkhorn also joined the board. Mytra is currently hiring for more than 20 roles to support rising demand. The company has raised more than $200 million to date to finance rapid scaling of its software-defined automation platform.

Apptronik develops the Apollo humanoid robot and emphasizes human-centered design for collaboration in industries like manufacturing and logistics. The company emerged from the Human Centered Robotics Lab at the University of Texas at Austin and cites nearly a decade of development experience built on about 15 prior robots, including work tied to NASA’s Valkyrie. Apptronik has roughly 350 employees working on advancing its Apollo platform. Management positions the robot to address labor-intensive tasks and reduce repetitive-motion injuries while improving productivity and safety. The company says Apollo could expand into healthcare, the home, and other markets beyond its initial industrial focus. Recent secondary share activity—an approximately $4.2 million transaction—provided liquidity for existing shareholders and is portrayed as helping bridge development toward mass production.
