US Robotics Company Nidus Closes $30M Funding Round Led by Kleiner Perkins and Costanoa

November 11 — According to official news, US robotics company Nidus announced it has closed a $30 million funding round led by Kleiner Perkins and Costanoa, with participation from Ludlow Ventures, SF1, Absolute Partners, Tau and angel investors including Hadrian founder Chris Power, Dulo and other companies' co-founder Adrian Aoun, and Archer Chief Business Officer Nikhil Goel.

Nidus develops and deploys foundation robotics models that enable traditional industrial robots to perform precision assembly tasks, and it adopts a sovereign AI training approach that allows customers to retain their own knowledge. The company currently delivers custom models on its proprietary platform for wire harness processing automation, a platform built to meet US defense sector security requirements. Nidus says its revenue exceeded seven figures in the first four months since founding. The new funds will be used to expand its engineering team, extend beyond wire harness automation into more factory processes, and scale deployments with US defense manufacturers.
