The round was led by RoboStrategy and existing investors including General Catalyst at a $1 billion valuation, marking a major milestone for American robotics at a time when U.S. industry is racing to modernize. The company is also expanding its manufacturing footprint in New York, increasing its ability to design, assemble, and deploy American-made robots at scale for customers ranging from Fortune 100 companies to hundreds of SMB manufacturers across the country. Standard Bots was co-founded by Evan Beard, David Golden, and James Cordle.

Standard Bots is America's largest manufacturer of AI-native industrial robots, trusted by hundreds of customers, from large enterprises like Sunoco, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, NASA, and the U.S. Army to hundreds of SMB manufacturers across nearly every state.

Standard Bots also serves as a leading advisor to the White House and has testified twice to Congress on America's National Robotics Strategy. Headquartered in Glen Cove, New York, Standard Bots is backed by General Catalyst, RoboStrategy, Amazon, Samsung Next, Box Group, and GiantLeap Capital.
