Physical Intelligence, the two-year-old San Francisco robotics startup, is in discussions to raise about $1 billion in new funding at a valuation exceeding $11 billion, according to Bloomberg. The deal would effectively double the company’s $5.6 billion valuation in just four months.
Founders Fund is set to participate with Lightspeed Venture Partners also in talks to invest alongside returning backers Thrive Capital and Lux Capital, Bloomberg reported. The deal is still in early stages and details could change, noted the outlet.
Read visited Physical Intelligence’s headquarters in January, where co-founder Sergey Levine described the company’s ambition simply: “Think of it like ChatGPT, but for robots.” At the time, the company had raised just over $1 billion and employed about 80 people working to build general-purpose AI models that can power robots to perform a wide variety of tasks, from folding laundry to peeling vegetables.
Co-founder Lachy Groom told Read the company has no timeline for commercialization, an unusual posture that its investors don’t seem to mind. “There’s no limit to how much money we can really put to work,” Groom said. “There’s always more compute you can throw at the problem.”
