Autonomous construction startup Bedrock Robotics raises $270 million in Series B funding

by

Bedrock Robotics, an autonomous construction technology startup, has raised $270 million in Series B funding co-led by CapitalG and the Valor Atreides AI Fund, with participation from Xora, 8VC, Eclipse, Emergence Capital, Perry Creek Capital, NVentures (Nvidia’s venture capital arm), Tishman Speyer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgian, Incharge Capital, C4 Ventures, and others.

This round brings Bedrock’s total funding to over $350 million. The funding will accelerate Bedrock’s mission to transform how general contractors build, from deploying individual autonomous machines to orchestrating fully connected fleets that reshape productivity and safety.

The new funding follows a period of rapid growth for Bedrock. The company emerged from stealth in July 2025 with $80 million in Seed and Series A funding, and in November completed a large-scale supervised autonomy deployment for mass excavation on a 130-acre manufacturing site.

Bedrock Robotics begins supervised autonomous excavation on live construction sites as it moves toward commercialization

by

Bedrock Robotics says it has been conducting “the construction industry’s largest-known supervised autonomy deployment for mass excavation”, partnering with Sundt Construction on site preparation for a 130-acre domestic manufacturing facility.

On just this project alone, Bedrock’s autonomous systems have so far moved over 65,000 cubic yards by loading human-operated articulating dump trucks with the same workflow used in manual operations – a seamless integration that demonstrates a leap forward in commercial autonomous construction.

The company’s technology is now installed across multiple excavator models ranging from 20-ton to 80-ton machines, adapting its systems from compact units to large-scale earthmovers.

Interview with Bedrock Robotics CEO Boris Sofman: ‘The economics are compelling’

by

Over the past couple of years, the level of interest in construction robotics has surged. This is not surprising given the tantalising demos by new robotics companies that show what autonomous machines could do on building sites.

At the forefront of turning that promise into reality is Bedrock Robotics, led by co-founder and CEO Boris Sofman.

After pivotal roles at Anki and Waymo, Sofman has embarked on one of the boldest pivots in the autonomy space: applying machine learning and robotics to earthmoving, excavation, and other heavy-duty construction work.

Bedrock Robotics raises $80 million to commercialize its construction technology

by

Bedrock Robotics, the company developing advanced autonomous systems for the $13 trillion global construction industry, emerged from stealth today with $80 million in Seed and Series A backing.

Rather than design and sell costly new machinery, Bedrock upgrades customers’ existing heavy equipment fleets with reversible, same-day hardware and software installs to enable fully autonomous operations.

With reindustrialization of the United States accelerating, Bedrock’s technology bridges the expanding gap between rapidly rising domestic infrastructure needs and shrinking workforce capacity. [Read more…] about Bedrock Robotics raises $80 million to commercialize its construction technology
