UNICORN
Field AI is a robotics startup developing foundation models for autonomous robot navigation in unstructured industrial environments. Founded by former NASA JPL researcher Ali Agha, its 'Field Foundation Model' (FFM) gives mobile robots a universal, risk-aware 'brain' to operate safely in construction, mining, energy, manufacturing, and inspection sites. The company raised $405M across two consecutive rounds announced August 2025 at a $2B valuation — backed by Bezos Expeditions, Prysm Capital, Khosla Ventures, NVIDIA (NVentures), Intel Capital, BHP Ventures, Emerson Collective, Temasek, and Gates Frontier — reaching unicorn status roughly 18 months after founding. In February 2026, Hyundai Motor Company added a strategic investment. Deployments now span the US, Europe, and Japan. A Series B is widely expected as embodied-AI funding accelerates (projection, not announced).

Projected Next RoundPROJECTION
Round: Series B (projected)
Estimated window: H2 2026 – 2027
Estimated raise: $500M – $1.0B
Estimated valuation: $4.0B – $7.0B
No Series B has been announced. Projection based on: (1) the typical ~12-18 month cadence following the Aug 2025 raise; (2) the Feb 2026 Hyundai strategic investment, which often precedes a priced growth round; (3) the 2026 embodied-AI/robotics funding surge repricing peers sharply higher; and (4) expanding multi-industry deployments across three continents. Figures are an analyst estimate, not a confirmed raise.
Forward-looking projection / estimate only — not an announced or confirmed fundraise. Verify against primary sources before relying on it.
