GigaAI, a Beijing-based embodied AI and robotics startup, has raised a total of CNY3.5 billion (USD518 million) across three funding rounds spanning just three months, signaling surging investor appetite for physical artificial general intelligence.
Series B2: The Latest Round
The company secured CNY1 billion in a Series B2 fundraiser from investors including Singapore's Lion Partners Capital, China-Belgium Direct Equity Investment Fund, and Wanxiang Qianchao. Proceeds will support data and algorithm systems, development of GigaAI's physical AGI model, and scaling of robot products.
Rapid Fundraising Trajectory
GigaAI raised CNY1 billion in pre-Series B (March), CNY1.5 billion in Series B1 (April), and CNY1 billion in Series B2 (June), pushing post-financing valuation above CNY10 billion ($1.5 billion). Founded in 2023 by Huang Guan (former Horizon Robotics VP of visual perception), the company developed GigaWorld and GigaBrain models, launching SeeLight S1 home robot and Maker H01 industrial robot.
Commercial Traction
SeeLight S1 has ~100 orders for mass delivery next quarter. SeeLight S2 launches in Q3. GigaAI signed a 1,000-unit deployment deal with auto parts maker Longsheng Technology, and partnered with FAW Group for Maker H01 factory deployment.
