Formic raises $50 million to expand its robots-as-a-service platform
- Event
- Published
Formic raised $50 million in growth capital, including a Mercato-led Series B and debt financing from S2G, to extend its factory deployment platform toward general-purpose robotics. Formic reports 750,000 production hours across more than 100 facilities, 99.6% uptime and 97% customer renewal; those operating metrics remain unaudited company figures.
Why it matters
The round backs deployment, service and financing infrastructure around factory robots, not just another hardware prototype or foundation model.
