Mecka AI

The data and deployment layer for physical AI.
Mecka AI builds the data and deployment layer for physical AI: it pays people to record themselves performing everyday tasks - cooking, pouring, repairing - using custom body sensors and iPhones, then annotates, QAs and structures that footage into training data for robotics labs and frontier model teams. Its bet, unusual when the company started, is that human data generalizes for robot learning without the teleoperation rigs most rivals rely on. Its Egoverse dataset packages that first-person activity for robot learning, and the company positions itself as an integrator that plugs hardware makers, model labs and commercial partners together and owns the last-mile data, evaluation and integration in between; it does not build robots. Founded in 2025 by Josh Gao (CEO), Jason Chong (CTO), Mogen Cheng (CPO) and Duy Nguyen (COO) - fintech, crypto and commerce operators rather than robotics researchers - it launched from Toronto in August 2025 with an $8M seed led by Neo and is now headquartered in New York. Fortune reported on 2026-06-01 that it had raised $60M more across a $25M Series A closed in November 2025 and a $35M follow-on, both led by Framework Ventures with Menlo Ventures, SV Angel, Kindred Ventures and angel Ted Xiao. The company has ~40 employees and projects a $100M annual run rate on signed contracts; no valuation has been disclosed. 1X Technologies was an early partner.
