Today, we’re thrilled to announce our $200M Series C funding round at a $1B valuation, led by @RoboStrategy and existing investors including @generalcatalyst. Standard Bots is now America’s largest manufacturer of AI-native industrial robots. Our customers include Sunoco, Lockheed Martin, NASA, and the US Army along with hundreds of other manufacturers across the country. We’re proud to say that we’re on track to deploy 10% of all U.S. industrial robots by next year. We are expanding our Glen Cove, New York facility to 70,000 square feet to scale our vertically integrated production process. We currently design almost all our own parts, including our own actuators, and we assemble every final product in-house. By 2027, we’ll manufacture everything — from metal in to robots out — right here in America. We believe AI-native robots are the essential power tool of the 21st century — the tool that will grow American manufacturing and help every American worker to be a force at work. You just show your robot how it’s done, and it learns through demonstration. No coding, no consultants, just unbox and deploy faster than anything else on the market. Right now it’s possible for the United States to revitalize our manufacturing base if we become the worldwide leader in this transformative technology. We must build American robots, and put them to work in American factories. It’s a national imperative, and it’s our central mission. This fundraise gets us one step closer to the goal. The future of American manufacturing is bright! Join Standard Bots, and show your robot how it’s done — we’re just getting started.

“The making of the product is the product.” We build all our robots out of our 70,000 sq ft facility in Glen Cove, NY, and by 2027, we’ll manufacture everything — from metal in to robots out — right here in America. That’s how we compete again. Thank you to @quentinclark for the conversation with our co-founder & CEO @evanbeard. And thank you to @generalcatalyst for the continued support. $200M Series C. $1B valuation. Let's build. 🦾

We made it to @tbpn. Gong! Co-founder and CEO @evanbeard on the announcement of our $200M Series C funding round. We make robots for the people who make America. And we're on track to deliver 10% of all U.S. industrial robots by next year. Thanks for having us @johncoogan and @jordihays!

Great hosting @IlirAliu_ at our newly expanded facility in New York last week! We share the same laser focus on execution and ROI.
China installed 9x more industrial robots than the US last year. But an American comeback is quietly underway. This startup could produce 10% of all new industrial robots in the US next year. Today, it raised $200M at a $1B valuation. Why this is a big deal... 🧵

“To deploy millions of robots, you need to design for the worker. That’s been our user since day one.” – Standard Bots Co-founder and CEO @EvanBeard. Thanks to @quentinclark from @generalcatalyst for having us on In Conversation With.
“If the technology that helps us be competitive in manufacturing comes from an adversarial country, we have a serious problem.” @standardbots is building the robots that bring American manufacturing back, designed so any worker can train them. We’re proud to double down on their $200M Series C. Congratulations to the entire team. Watch GC's @quentinclark in conversation with @evanbeard.

At #NYTechWeek, Standard Bots CCO @Z_mac39 made the case that AI-native robots are the essential power tool of the 21st century. Our mission is to make them accessible and affordable for every worker. At Standard Bots, we've deployed industrial robots to hundreds of American companies across nearly every state, from generational small businesses in the heartland to major players in oil and gas, automotive, aerospace, and data centers. Join us. Let's build the future of American manufacturing--together. 📸@HRobotics98794

This is what the sweet spot between craft and scale looks like. Pika’s Farm Table gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how advanced automation supports their artisanal baking. Pardon us while we grab a treat. Full story dropping soon!

Myth: Cutting-edge robotics requires complex humanoid robots that do it all. Fact: Our AI-native robots are engineered to deliver 3x faster performance at much lower cost than humanoid solutions. Plus, we build our robots right here in Glen Cove, NY — so hands-on support is never far away. 🇺🇸

Revitalizing American manufacturing and competing globally starts at home — in our schools. Here’s a sneak peek at what that looks like at the Community College of Allegheny County in Pennsylvania. @CCAC chose our Spark robots to train the next generation of skilled workers on the most advanced tools powering modern manufacturing floors today. We continue to push for American manufacturers — current and future — to have access to the tools, training, and equipment they need to compete on a global stage. Full story dropping soon.

The tradesperson of the future looks a lot like the tradesperson of today — just with more in their toolkit. The Sheet Metal Workers union recently invested in a Standard Bots robot to train their members on modern welding automation. Now, union-members have hands on the controls, and are learning to program, operate, and integrate advanced robotics. That's what upskilling looks like when it's done right. We’re proud to serve and empower the workers of today — and tomorrow.

Robotics and manufacturing training centers need funding. Standard Bots CEO & co-founder @evanbeard testified to Congress on behalf of hundreds of U.S. manufacturers to ask for Robotics and Manufacturing Excellence Centers in every state. American manufacturers need the tools, training, and resources to compete on a global stage. These centers would bring this fundamental capacity home — to local workers, local facilities, and local economies. We’re proud to be co-authoring America's National Robotics Strategy with our countries brightest leaders.

Can advanced automation crack open new industries for you? For @EAMMoscaCorp, the answer was a resounding yes. Here’s a sneak peek at what that looks like on the production floor, feat Thor, our longest-reach robot. Full story dropping soon.

The United States is not competitive in manufacturing, and we're falling further behind every day. Any company that builds hardware here can tell you that sourcing from China is generally 5 to 10 times cheaper. And it's not just because of their lower labor costs — it's because of China’s national investment in robotics. Last year alone, they installed nearly nine times the number of industrial robots we did. To catch up, we don't just need more robots, we need best-in-class training, too. That's why we testified before Congress last month to advocate for a Center of Robotics and Manufacturing Excellence in every state — physical hubs where manufacturers can walk in, test equipment, compare technologies, and leave with a plan for automating their operations. This is core to our proposed National Robotics Strategy. The time to act is now.
