Armadin raises $255.5M in Series B funding co-led by @a16z and @accel to bring proof, not assumptions, to the organizations that need it most. Read more:

The next generation of semiconductors, batteries, clean energy systems, and advanced manufacturing will depend on materials that have yet to be discovered. @cusp_ai is building the infrastructure to find them. Today, the company launched its AI Materials Foundry, a global network of data, labs, compute, and scientific expertise designed to accelerate the development of new materials. We’re excited to co-lead CuspAI’s $450 million Series B alongside NEA and partner with @ac_edwards_1, @wellingmax, and the @CuspAI team as they expand across the United States, Asia-Pacific, and Europe.

TerraFirma started with a question: when @SpaceX gets to Mars, who builds the city? @noah_schochet and @NoahMcGuinn worked on programs including Starlink, Starshield, and Starship. They saw that even at @SpaceX, physical infrastructure was often the bottleneck. Now they’re building the answer with @TerraFirma_Inc: a new kind of robotics construction company already deployed on job sites in Texas. The long-term ambition goes much further. Watch @josh_coyne sit down with @noah_schochet to talk about Series A, and the future of construction on Earth and beyond. Read more about our investment:

Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $115 million in funding, including a $100M Series A led by @kleinerperkins. America has lost the ability to build, and we’re here to restore it. My co-founder, @NoahMcGuinn, and I left our jobs at @SpaceX , where we worked on programs including Starship, Starshield, and @Starlink, to build a company that will solve construction’s greatest challenges. Infrastructure is the foundation of civilization, and construction is the precursor to innovation. If America wants to build a brighter future for the next generation, we have to make it faster, cheaper, and safer to build. That’s where @TerraFirma_Inc comes in. We’re a new type of company, a robotic construction company that builds the full technology stack needed to deliver an order-of-magnitude improvement in one of the world’s oldest, largest, most important, but least efficient industries. We are building technology that expands what’s possible in construction on Earth, and then we'll use that same technology to build megastructures and colonies on the Moon and Mars. We’ve made tremendous progress over the past year, growing the company more than 10x in the last 12 months. We are performing projects across the world. By the end of October 2026, we are on track to operate 3 of the top 3 largest robotic construction fleets in the world, each on a different continent, bringing unprecedented speed, scale, and efficiency to some of the world’s most complex critical infrastructure projects. This funding will allow us to step on the gas and scale our manufacturing, software, operations, and construction deployments, including work on massive commercial and government contracts. We’re building the future of construction right here in Austin, Texas, and scaling it globally. If you want to be part of the team changing the world, now and on Mars, join us. Our Series A was led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital Partners, BANNER VC, Saga Ventures, Trust Ventures, Definition, PEAK6, Magnetar Capital, and Ravelin Capital. Huge thanks to all of our angel investors, friends, and family who have helped and supported us throughout this journey. Apply here:
