Mecka AI announced the completion of a $60 million Series B funding round, led by Sequoia Capital with participation from Nvidia and Microsoft's venture fund M12.
Founded in 2024, the startup pays individuals wearing body sensors to record everyday tasks like making coffee or fixing cars. This generates high-quality human motion data for training humanoid robots, mirroring how Scale AI provides labeled data for large language models.
Prior reporting indicated Mecka was negotiating this round at a $500 million valuation. The new capital will accelerate its expansion in embodied intelligence data infrastructure amid competition from firms like XDOF.
