Foundry Robotics raises a $100m Series A led by Marlinspike Partners for a robot-run assembly factory in Emeryville
The contract manufacturer pairs workers with robot assembly cells and builds drones and underwater vehicles.
Foundry Robotics has raised a $100m Series A round led by Marlinspike Partners, with Khosla Ventures among the other investors, according to its law firm, Goodwin, whose announcement is dated 29 October. Goodwin also says it advised Foundry on its purchase of Avea Robotics; no terms are given.
Foundry calls itself an AI-native contract manufacturer that sells robotic assembly cells as a service. Robotics & Automation News reports that the company is moving into a 130,000-square-foot facility in Emeryville, California. The Defense Post describes the 130,000 square feet as a twentyfold increase in its manufacturing footprint, and lists the products it assembles as drones, underwater vehicles, autonomous-vehicle subassemblies, wire harnesses and satellite components.
Foundry's own website names Emeryville as both its headquarters and its factory. No valuation was disclosed. Foundry's own release on Business Wire could not be opened from here, so the facility details come from the two outlets.
