Gather AI has secured a $40 million Series B led by Smith Point Capital, the firm of former Salesforce co-CEO Keith Block, bringing its total funding to $74 million. The round validates the Carnegie Mellon-founded startup’s Physical AI platform, which uses classical Bayesian techniques—not LLMs—to power autonomous systems that actively map and monitor warehouse operations.

This investment marks a critical inflection point for AI infrastructure, shifting focus from purely digital, text-generating agents to systems that must operate reliably in the physical world. As enterprises seek to scale automation beyond the data center, a new class of Physical AI infrastructure is emerging to solve the critical bottlenecks of real-world deployment across logistics, manufacturing, and field services.

Foxglove raised $40 million in Series B funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners to expand its data and observability platform for Physical AI, addressing a critical infrastructure bottleneck as robotics companies scale autonomous systems from prototypes to production deployments.

The funding reflects growing recognition that Physical AI—robots operating in real-world environments—requires fundamentally different data infrastructure than software-only AI systems. While software ate the digital world, the physical world has remained largely unchanged, but breakthrough convergence in foundation models, sensor technology, and edge computing has created an inflection point for autonomous systems in manufacturing, logistics, transportation, agriculture, construction, aerospace, and defense.

InOrbit.AI secured Series A funding co-led by L’ATTITUDE Ventures and Globant Ventures to accelerate development of its robot orchestration platform, addressing a critical infrastructure bottleneck preventing enterprise automation from reaching scale.

The funding addresses a fundamental challenge: while individual robots and automation systems excel at specific tasks, enterprises struggle with fragmented deployments across manufacturing, logistics, retail and hospitality. InOrbit’s Space Intelligence platform transforms these disconnected systems into cohesive, intelligent operations that integrate seamlessly with human teams.
