Figure, the AI robotics company building autonomous humanoid robots, announced today it has raised more than $1 billion in its Series C funding round. The round values the company at $39 billion post-money, marking a significant milestone for the humanoid robotics sector.

Parkway Venture Capital led the substantial investment, with participation from Brookfield Asset Management, NVIDIA, Macquarie Capital, Intel Capital, Align Ventures, Tamarack Global, LG Technology Ventures, Salesforce, T-Mobile Ventures, and Qualcomm Ventures. This diverse group of investors represents both traditional venture capital and major technology corporations betting on the future of robotics.

Humanoid Robots Move Closer to Reality

The robotics industry has long promised human-like machines that can work alongside people in everyday environments. Recent advances in AI and machine learning have brought these possibilities closer to commercial reality. Companies worldwide are racing to develop robots capable of performing complex tasks in homes and workplaces.

“This milestone is critical to unlocking the next stage of growth for humanoid robots, scaling out our AI platform Helix and BotQ manufacturing. Support from new partners, alongside the continued backing of our existing investors, reflects both Figure’s position as the market leader and a shared belief in a future where this technology becomes a natural part of daily life.”

Brett Adcock, Founder and CEO of Figure

Three-Pronged Growth Strategy Takes Shape

Figure plans to deploy the new capital across three main areas, all focused on expanding its Helix AI system for embodied intelligence. The company will scale production of humanoid robots for both residential and commercial applications. Manufacturing expansion at its BotQ facility will enable real-world deployments where robots assist with household tasks and workforce operations.

The funding will also support next-generation NVIDIA GPU infrastructure development. This computing foundation powers Helix’s core models for perception, reasoning, and control—the brain behind Figure’s robotic capabilities. Advanced data collection represents the third priority area, including human video capture and multimodal sensory inputs that help robots understand complex, dynamic environments.

From Startup to Market Leader

Brett Adcock founded Figure with the ambitious goal of creating humanoid robots with human-level intelligence. Based in San Jose, California, the company has positioned itself at the forefront of general-purpose robotics development. Figure’s approach differs from traditional industrial robotics by focusing on machines designed to work in unstructured human environments.

The company’s robots are engineered to perform various tasks across home and commercial markets. Rather than specialized machines for specific functions, Figure aims to create truly general-purpose robots that can adapt to different situations and learn new tasks.

Investor Confidence Reflects Market Potential

The substantial Series C round demonstrates strong investor confidence in Figure’s technology and market approach. Participation from major technology companies like NVIDIA, Intel, and Salesforce suggests these established players see humanoid robotics as a strategic priority. Financial institutions like Brookfield Asset Management and Macquarie Capital add traditional investment expertise to the mix.

This combination of venture capital, corporate strategic investors, and financial institutions creates a powerful support network for Figure’s continued development and market expansion efforts.
