According to CoinMeta, Sequoia Capital led a new round of financing for Mecka AI, a humanoid robot data startup, with a valuation of nearly $500 million. The scale of this financing round and the specific terms have not yet been determined and may still change. Mecka AI primarily collects human daily motion data through body sensors and smartphones, and uses this data to train humanoid robots and other robotic systems. The company was founded in 2024 and just completed a $60 million financing round in June this year, led by Framework Ventures, with Menlo Ventures, SV Angel, and Kindred Ventures also participating. It is worth noting that the founding team of Mecka AI was previously involved in food and beverage fintech and cryptocurrency entrepreneurship, and does not have a background in the robotics industry.
