What robotics rounds look like (2026)
Pre-seed and seed rounds for robotics are larger than software. Typical: $3M to $8M seed, sometimes with a strategic. Investors want to see:
- Working hardware, not just a CAD render
- A deployment path that doesn't require a moonshot ("we'll sell to Amazon eventually")
- Software leverage: the robot is a data collection surface, not the whole business
