Mecka AI raises $60M Series B led by Sequoia
Nvidia and Microsoft's M12 fund joined the round for the startup, which collects human motion data to train humanoid and other robots.
Mecka AI announced on October 7, 2026 that it raised a $60 million Series B round led by Sequoia, with participation from Nvidia and Microsoft's venture fund M12, among others.
The company collects and analyzes human motion data used to train humanoid and other robots. It has positioned its work as the robotics equivalent of what data-labeling companies have done for large language models.
TechCrunch previously reported that Mecka AI was nearing a funding round at a $500 million valuation. Founded in 2024, the startup faces a field that includes Scale AI, Mercor and Surge, which built their businesses on data labeling for LLMs.
Those human-data platforms are now expanding into robotics, with companies such as Scale AI and Micro1 moving into the sector. TechCrunch's earlier reporting also said XDOF was in talks to raise a Series B round at a $1.2 billion valuation.
