Neuracore secures £2.2m in pre-seed funding led by Earlybird to scale its robot learning platform.
Earlybird led the pre-seed round for the robotics infrastructure platform, which also launched a free academic programme.
Neuracore provides an AI-powered infrastructure platform that streamlines robot learning and deployment. The company aims to replace fragmented setups with a unified cloud-based system.
London-based robotics infrastructure provider Neuracore has secured £2.2m in pre-seed funding to scale its operations and product development. The round was led by Earlybird, with participation from Clem Delangue and various industry advisors. The capital will be deployed to expand the engineering team, accelerate platform development, and support the growth of the open-source robot learning community. Alongside the raise, the company is introducing a free academic initiative to give universities unrestricted access to its enterprise infrastructure.
From the founder
"Earlybird is the ideal partner for Neuracore,"
Stephen James
Founder and CEO at Neuracore
Investor perspective
"The robotics industry is at an inflection point, moving from the ROS 1.0 era to a data-first paradigm powered by deep learning. Teams are still wasting months building and maintaining their own infrastructure instead of focusing on deployment. Neuracore provides what AWS did for web applications: a reliable, scalable platform that just works. We’re thrilled to support Stephen’s vision to become the infrastructure layer for the coming wave of intelligent robotics."
