NEURA Robotics raises up to $1.4 billion Series C at a reported $7 billion valuation

NEURA Robotics, a German humanoid-robot developer, said on June 10 it has raised a Series C round of up to $1.4 billion, a financing the company describes as the largest ever for a full-stack robotics company. The total is a ceiling rather than a single upfront sum, with part of it tied to performance milestones; the round has been reported at a $7 billion valuation.

The raise underlines how much capital investors are now willing to put behind humanoid hardware that is still largely pre-deployment. Stablecoin issuer Tether led the round, and co-investors include Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon, NVIDIA, imec.xpand, Bosch, Schaeffler, the European Investment Bank, Lingotto Horizon, and InterAlpen Partners.

Founded in 2019 and based in Metzingen, NEURA says its existing orderbook and strategic deployment pipeline already exceed $1 billion. The new capital is meant to fund manufacturing toward several million robots by 2030, expand its Neuraverse software platform, and build NEURA Gyms — physical environments where robots are trained on real-world tasks.

Those are company projections, not shipped numbers, and NEURA has not disclosed how many robots it has deployed to date or a timeline for reaching production scale. The several-million-by-2030 target depends on manufacturing capacity the company has yet to demonstrate.

"The future of AI will not only live on screens," said David Reger, founder and chief executive of NEURA Robotics, in the announcement. "It will move, interact, learn and work beside us in the real world." The investor group brings strategic weight beyond cash: Qualcomm executive vice president Nakul Duggal and Amazon vice president Nafea Bshara are among the named representatives, signaling chip and cloud interest in the company's roadmap.

The round lands amid a wave of humanoid-robot funding, with chipmakers and industrial suppliers racing to back the hardware platforms they expect to power. Whether NEURA can convert a $1 billion-plus pipeline into shipping units at the scale it promises will determine if the valuation holds.
