Skild AI has raised $1.4 billion in a Series C funding round, valuing the company at more than $14 billion. The financing was led by SoftBank, with participation from NVentures (NVIDIA), Macquarie Capital–managed entities, and Jeff Bezos through Bezos Expeditions. Existing backers Lightspeed, Felicis, Coatue, and Sequoia Capital increased their stakes, while new strategic investors include LG, Schneider Electric, CommonSpirit, and Salesforce Ventures. Additional participants ranged from Disruptive and 1789 Capital to Mirae Asset and Destiny.
Commenting on the milestone, the company said it is “entering a new phase in our mission to build a single, general-purpose brain that can control any robot for any task,” highlighting a shift toward broader commercial deployment and research scale. Founded in 2023, Skild AI is developing the Skild Brain, described as a unified robotics foundation model that operates across robot types and tasks without prior knowledge of hardware form. The system improves through “a data flywheel” built on large-scale simulations, internet video pretraining, teleoperation, and real-world deployments across sectors such as construction, security, logistics, and manufacturing.
The company stated that “each deployment contributes to a growing data flywheel, helping improve performance across the fleet.” Skild AI reported live revenue rising from zero to roughly $30 million within months in 2025. The new capital will fund expanded data generation, foundational research in model architecture and algorithms, and additional deployments designed to generate measurable economic returns.
