Foxglove, the developer of modern infrastructure for Physical AI, announced a $40M funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, joined by Eclipse Capital, Amplify Partners, and Icehouse Ventures. The round also includes participation from angel investors such as Tobi Lütke, Alex Kendall, Milan Kovac, Brad Porter, Boris Sofman, Kevin Peterson, Chris Walti, Robert Sun, and Lindon Gao. The investment strengthens Foxglove’s leadership in Physical AI data systems and supports platform expansion across development, testing, and operations in real-world environments.
The physical industries — manufacturing, logistics, transportation, agriculture, construction, aerospace, and defense — have long lagged behind software innovation. Recent advances in foundation models, sensors, and edge computing have created a tipping point, giving rise to Physical AI capable of sensing, thinking, and acting autonomously. Success in this domain depends on creating a data flywheel — capturing, ingesting, analyzing, and evaluating massive datasets generated by real-world systems.
Robotics data presents unique challenges: multimodal, time-synchronized, and bandwidth-limited at the edge. Legacy data platforms were never built for petabyte-scale 3D, video, audio, and sensor data. Foxglove delivers a modern data engine tailored to Physical AI, enabling recording, syncing, searching, visualization, and evaluation of robot performance across complex environments.
“We used to have to reinvent everything, from the hardware to the tools to the labeling systems, and all that infrastructure requires a lot of money, time, and people. When you don’t need that, it shortcuts everything you need to bring out a product dramatically, which brings into focus applications that would’ve been previously infeasible.” – Boris Sofman, Bedrock Robotics
Foxglove’s platform serves leading organizations in the Physical AI space, including NVIDIA, Amazon, Wayve, Waabi, Anduril, Saronic, Dexterity, Bedrock Robotics, and The Bot Company.
“Foxglove helped us to supercharge our processes. We went from days to minutes when finding the root cause of an issue.” – J’aime Laurenson, Wayve
The company recently hosted Actuate, a conference bringing together over 500 developers across robotics verticals — autonomous vehicles, drones, maritime systems, warehouse robotics, and construction technology — to share insights and challenges.
Foxglove continues to expand its team to build the world’s leading Physical AI platform. Open positions span machine learning, data infrastructure, and visualization engineering, supporting the mission to enable large-scale, autonomous systems that will define the next decade of innovation.
