FieldAI reportedly raises $700M at $10B valuation

$700M

Series C

It's the first humanoid-robot-brain startup to publicly disclose a nine-figure revenue and contract total, moving the pitch from research to commerce.

  • FieldAI signed a term sheet to raise $700 million at a $10 billion valuation, up from $2 billion in 2025, according to Business Insider.
  • Irvine, California-based FieldAI, founded in 2023 by ex-NASA JPL roboticist Ali Agha, builds 'Field Foundation Models' software meant to run humanoids, robot dogs, drones and industrial rovers off one stack.
  • The deal had a signed term sheet as of October 2 but had not formally closed, and no lead investor on the new round has been disclosed.
  • FieldAI says revenue plus signed customer contracts has topped $135 million across more than 30 customers, up $35 million since June.
  • The $10 billion tag places FieldAI near rivals Physical Intelligence (about $11 billion) and Skild AI (above $14 billion) in the race to build a universal software layer for robots.
  • A nine-figure revenue claim pulls the 'universal robot brain' category out of pure research hype and into real commercial deployment, a harder bar than training a single-task demo.
