Mecka AI builds the data and deployment layer for physical AI. It records how people actually do physical work, using its own multi-sensor hardware and iPhones sent to hundreds of thousands of contributors across 12 countries, and turns that footage into training data with an in-house research lab (motion tracking, 3D reconstruction, sensor alignment). It supplies several top frontier robotics labs and multiple Magnificent 7 companies, and also acts as a robotics integrator that captures data on site and post-trains deployed robots. Founded in 2024 by Josh Gao (CEO), Jason Chong (CTO), Mogen Cheng (CPO) and Duy Nguyen (COO), operators from fintech and crypto rather than robotics, it launched from Toronto in August 2025 with an $8M seed led by Neo, raised $60M of Series A SAFEs led by Framework Ventures (a $25M tranche in November 2025 and a $35M extension announced June 2026), acquired Vancouver's Docula, and on October 7, 2026 announced a $60M Series B led by Sequoia with NVIDIA, M12, Qualcomm Ventures and Samsung, bringing total funding to $128M. TechCrunch had reported the Sequoia round at about a $500M valuation; the company did not confirm one. Mecka says it passed a $100M run rate in June 2026 and projects $300M by year-end. US-domiciled with a New York office, most of its ~45 staff are in Toronto.
