HCVC

We help fearless founders tackle hard problems with capital, resources and collaboration.

[Jason Ma @JasonMa2020]

We just did World’s first on-stage autonomous demo of long-horizon dexterous VLA 🚨

No training. No setup. Performance out of the box. Live demo is hard and unpredictable, but we felt great about our model’s generalization, and it went pretty well!

💯 Zero-shot. 100% success.

[Dyna Robotics @DynaRobotics]

🧠For the first time, a general-purpose foundation model is performing diverse daily tasks at commercial scale, across various environments. All in real life. We're seeing true generalization emerge as our robot enters a new environment, no extra data, it just works - out of box

[Dyna Robotics @DynaRobotics]

🦾In year one, we:
• Shipped DYNA-1 (generalized robotics foundation model)
• Ran real-life pilots across laundry, restaurants, hotels, gyms in <90 days
• Observed 99%+ success in a 24-hour non-stop run

[Dyna Robotics @DynaRobotics]

Excited to announce that we have raised $120M in our Series A to advance the frontier of general-purpose high-performance robots. 🤖

The new funding will accelerate progress towards our mission of bringing foundation-model powered robots to everyone, everywhere.

Excited to be doubling down on Alpine Eagle less than two years after leading their pre-seed. Jan & Timo are changing the nature of C-UAS by building a scalable air to air platform. Europe needs to innovate and adapt to protect itself, and it can. https://t.co/Y5ZLvDNtzb

Standing room only Q&A session yesterday on how to build a deep tech company, with @zhang_isaruihan presenting the @thisishcvc Synthesis Fellowship, and Francesco Marchioni of Stanford Founders.

Thanks everyone for the great questions!

We are doubling down on methane mitigation!

Excited to announce that a year after raising their pre-seed round led by HCVC, atmio is announcing a 5.1m round to fight climate change by finding, fixing, and reporting methane leaks.

[Sifted @Siftedeu]

The startup, which is based in Hamburg, will use the capital to grow its team and work towards going to market. https://t.co/WM1RVjAeGu
