Genesis AI Raises $105 Million, Emerges From Stealth to Develop General-Purpose Robotics Foundation Models

Genesis AI completed a $105 million funding round on July 1, 2025, and emerged from stealth.

What happened

Genesis AI completed a $105 million funding round led by Eclipse and Khosla Ventures on July 1, 2025, and emerged from stealth. The company said it will build foundation models for general-purpose robotics and a horizontal platform.

Why it matters

Genesis AI’s announcement addresses a challenge facing developers and researchers seeking to train general-purpose robots: collecting real-world robot data is difficult and time-consuming. The company said it is building its own data infrastructure that combines synthetic data generated through high-fidelity physical simulations with large-scale real-world data collection, and will develop foundation models for general-purpose robots on that infrastructure.
