Foundation

Foundation is engineering the next generation of affordable humanoid robots designed to directly address global labor shortages. Their flagship bot, Phantom, integrates advanced perception systems and hybrid AI to perform complex industrial and logistical tasks. By building the foundational robotics platform for the AI era, Foundation is enabling companies to deploy reliable automation that works alongside human teams.

We immediately recognized Foundation's ambition to transform the physical labor market with a dual-use approach to robotics. The team demonstrated a rare combination of engineering rigor and conviction, focusing on core hardware innovations like cycloidal actuators. Backing Foundation was a clear decision because their vision perfectly aligns with our belief in funding disruptive technology that delivers massive, measurable real-world impact.
