Figure, the trailblazer in humanoid robotics, today announced the successful close of its Series C financing round, securing more than $1 billion in committed capital at a post-money valuation of $39 billion. This landmark achievement cements Figure’s leadership in the robotics sector and marks a critical step toward realizing the company’s vision of deploying general-purpose humanoid robots on a global scale.
The Series C round was spearheaded by Parkway Venture Capital and saw strong participation from some of the world’s most influential investors, including Brookfield Asset Management, NVIDIA, Macquarie Capital, Intel Capital, Align Ventures, Tamarack Global, LG Technology Ventures, Salesforce, T-Mobile Ventures, and Qualcomm Ventures. This diverse coalition of backers underscores the broad belief in Figure’s mission and the immense potential of humanoid robotics in transforming industries, households, and daily life.
Accelerating the Future of Humanoid Robotics
The newly secured funding will empower Figure to accelerate its three-pronged growth strategy centered on its cutting-edge Helix AI platform and the BotQ manufacturing system. Together, these platforms form the backbone of Figure’s ambition to create humanoid robots that can seamlessly operate in both home and commercial environments.
- Scaling Humanoid Robots into Real-World Deployments
As BotQ expands its manufacturing capabilities, Figure will introduce humanoid robots into both household and commercial applications. These robots will assist with daily tasks, augment workforce efficiency, and address global labor shortages across industries such as logistics, retail, healthcare, and hospitality. - Building Next-Generation GPU Infrastructure
To unlock the full potential of Helix, Figure is building a powerful GPU infrastructure designed to accelerate training, modeling, and real-time simulation. This infrastructure will drive Helix’s ability to enhance perception, reasoning, and control, ensuring robots perform with precision and adaptability in complex, dynamic environments. - Launching Advanced Data Collection Efforts
Recognizing that data is the lifeblood of embodied intelligence, Figure is launching expansive data collection initiatives. These efforts will capture human video data and multimodal sensory inputs, enabling Helix to learn from diverse real-world situations. This capability will ensure humanoid robots can operate effectively, safely, and intuitively in environments shared with humans.
Investor Confidence in the Future of Robotics
The participation of global leaders across venture capital, asset management, semiconductors, telecommunications, and enterprise technology demonstrates confidence in Figure’s ability to lead the next great technological shift. Notably, NVIDIA and Intel Capital bring unmatched expertise in AI and compute infrastructure, while partners like Salesforce and T-Mobile Ventures align with the future of connected, intelligent systems.
According to Figure’s leadership team, this milestone is not just about funding—it represents validation of the company’s strategy, technology, and vision. “With this raise, we are entering the next phase of humanoid robotics. Our goal is to ensure humanoid robots become as natural and useful in everyday life as smartphones and computers. This is about solving real-world problems and improving the way people live and work,” said the company in its announcement.
Unlocking Human Potential with Robotics
The rise of humanoid robotics comes at a pivotal time in history. Industries worldwide are grappling with challenges ranging from labor shortages and aging populations to the need for greater automation and efficiency. Figure’s humanoid robots, powered by Helix, aim to fill these critical gaps while offering unprecedented levels of safety, intelligence, and adaptability.
By combining embodied intelligence with advanced robotics manufacturing, Figure is positioning itself at the forefront of a market poised to reshape the global economy. Analysts project that humanoid robotics will become a multi-trillion-dollar industry over the coming decades, and Figure’s leadership, bolstered by this funding round, places it at the epicenter of this transformation.
A Call to Innovators and Builders
As the company continues to scale, it is actively seeking world-class talent to join its mission of solving general-purpose robotics. Engineers, scientists, and innovators across AI, hardware, and robotics are encouraged to apply and contribute to shaping the future of humanoid robotics.
“If you would like to help us solve general robotics, please consider applying here,” Figure’s announcement stated, signaling the company’s openness to collaboration with the brightest minds in technology.
