Creandum and USV co-led a $40 million seed round for Machenta, a London-based robotics lab with no product. The startup claims its AI can teach robots new tasks with just a single demonstration. The investment, one of Europe's largest seed rounds, was driven by confidence in the founding team and the broader potential of embodied AI.
Machenta, founded by former Waymo and DeepMind engineers, aims to build general-purpose robots for logistics and manufacturing. The funding will support talent acquisition and infrastructure development as the company works toward its first commercial product.
