Mecka AI Secures $60M Series B Funding Led by Sequoia
Robot data startup Mecka AI has raised a $60 million Series B round led by venture capital firm Sequoia, with participation from Nvidia and Microsoft’s M12. The funding brings the company closer to its reported $500 million valuation target. Founded in 2024, Mecka aims to provide human motion data for training humanoid robots, similar to how companies like Scale AI have supported large language models (LLMs) with labeled datasets. Mecka collects real-world movement data by paying individuals to perform everyday tasks while wearing sensors and using smartphones. The company is part of a growing trend where firms that previously focused on LLMs are expanding into robotics, including competitors such as XDOF and Scale AI.
