Humanoid robotics data startup Mecka AI is nearing a new funding round led by Sequoia Capital at a valuation of about $500 million, according to two people familiar with the matter. The size of the round and final terms have not been set and could still change. Mecka AI collects data on everyday human movements through body sensors and smartphones, then uses that information to train humanoid robots and other robotic systems. The company was founded in 2024 and completed a $60 million funding round in June this year. That round was led by Framework Ventures, with participation from Menlo Ventures, SV Angel and Kindred Ventures. The company’s founding team previously worked mainly in restaurant, fintech and crypto startups rather than the robotics industry.
