Skild AI just closed a $1.4B Series B at $14B valuation.

What it is: Pittsburgh-based "robot brain" startup building omni-bodied AI that controls any robot without prior training.

• $1.4B raised, SoftBank led
• $30M revenue in 2025 (profitable)
• 14B+ valuation in 3 years
• Bezos, NVIDIA, Sequoia backed

How it happened:
• Started 2023 with physics simulation training
• Built "omni-bodied" learning (adapts to any robot form)
• Proved concept with humanoid/dog/arm robots
• Landed enterprise pilots (security, warehouses, data centers)
• Scaled to $30M ARR before mega-round
• Expanded globally (SF, India offices)

Takeaway: Train on simulations first, prove with real deployments, then scale fast.
