Robotics Startup Skild AI Raises $1.4 Billion at Valuation Over $14 Billion

By Elias Schisgall

Skild AI, an artificial-intelligence robotics startup, raised nearly $1.4 billion in a funding round that values the company at more than $14 billion.

The funding round was led by SoftBank Group, with participation from Nvidia's venture capital arm, Jeff Bezos, and 1789 Capital, the venture capital group at which Donald Trump Jr. is a partner, Skild AI said Wednesday.

Other investors included Macquarie Capital, Disruptive, Lightspeed, and Sequoia Capital.

The company is building a unified robotics foundation model called the Skild Brain, which is designed to work for any robot regardless of physical design. Skild said it has grown from zero to around $30 million in revenue in just a few months in 2025.

It will use proceeds from the funding round to scale the model training and work toward deployment, beginning with enterprise tasks.
