Microagi nabs $55M to teach factory robots how to work
Munich-based startup Microagi GmbH today announced it has raised $55 million in seed funding led by Hummingbird to change how industrial robotics works with artificial intelligence models.
Northzone, LocalGlobe, Village Global and Redalpine also participated in the round. The capital raise arrives around ten months after the company was founded by Formula One engineers from Red Bull Racing and Mercedes-AMG Petronas, two high-octane racing teams.
Microagi is helmed by Bercan Kilic, whose career path includes being a former aerodynamics engineer for Red Bull Racing in 2023. He left his position in the sport to found the AI company.
The power behind Microagi is Atlas, a robotics data and deployment platform for industrial companies, which ingests large volumes of data for training – something that is at a premium for AI-driven robotics – and integrates it to fine-tune frontier robotics models for customers.
