Bedrock Robotics Raises $270 Million in Series B Funding to Accelerate the Future of Autonomous Construction

Company reaches $1.75B valuation as contractors adopt system-level autonomy across complex infrastructure projects

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4, 2026Bedrock Robotics, a leader in autonomous construction technology, today announced it has raised $270 million in Series B funding co-led by CapitalG and the Valor Atreides AI Fund, with participation from Xora, 8VC, Eclipse, Emergence Capital, Perry Creek Capital, NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm), Tishman Speyer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgian, Incharge Capital, C4 Ventures, and others. This round brings Bedrock’s total funding to over $350 million. The funding will accelerate Bedrock’s mission to transform how general contractors build, from deploying individual autonomous machines to orchestrating fully connected fleets that reshape productivity and safety.

The new funding follows a period of rapid growth for Bedrock. The company emerged from stealth in July 2025 with $80 million in Seed and Series A funding, and in November completed a large-scale supervised autonomy deployment for mass excavation on a 130-acre manufacturing site.

“The construction industry is being asked to build more than it can deliver,” said Boris Sofman, co-founder and CEO of Bedrock Robotics. “Contractors are pulled across competing priorities with the same limited workforce and equipment. This funding helps us scale our development and deployments as we mature autonomy capabilities and the tools for contractors to leverage them. It’s a first step toward a future where entire fleets operate as coordinated systems, fundamentally changing how modern contractors plan, staff, and execute work.”

The industry needs nearly 800,000 workers over the next two years to keep up with demand, with retirements further widening the labor gap. Project backlogs climbed to more than eight months as of December 2025. Against this backdrop, contractors are exploring Bedrock’s autonomy systems across a range of applications spanning port infrastructure, industrial facilities, data centers, and large-scale earthmoving operations across multiple states. On a manufacturing campus in central Texas, Champion Site Prep is currently using the Bedrock Operator to explore how autonomous systems could complement the crews they have today.

“The speed and scale of what’s coming into this region is unlike anything we’ve seen before—automotive, aerospace, AI infrastructure—and these projects don’t wait,” said Trey Taparauskas, President and CEO at Champion Site Prep. “What Bedrock is building will multiply what our crews are capable of. It’s not just about one autonomous machine; it’s the potential to rethink how we coordinate our entire fleet, keep machines running longer, reduce idle time, and improve safety and work zone awareness. That frees up our best people to supervise and strategize so we can take on even more.”

“Hundreds of billions of dollars are flowing into construction, but the workforce simply isn’t there to meet the moment,” said Derek Zanutto, General Partner at CapitalG. “Every major hyperscaler and developer is grappling with how to compress project schedules when labor constraints keep pushing them out. Bedrock’s technology is built on world-class autonomy expertise, and we believe it will unlock the construction velocity this moment requires.”

“What stands out about Bedrock is execution—delivering milestone after milestone with precision and capital efficiency that’s uncommon in this space,” said Antonio Gracias, Founder, CEO, and Chief Investment Officer of Valor Equity Partners. “The companies defining the future of AI, energy, and advanced manufacturing all share a common need: they have to build faster than ever before. We’re confident Bedrock is the team to make that possible.”

In addition to new funding, Bedrock recently expanded its leadership team with key hires. Vincent Gonguet joined as Head of Evaluation, having previously led AI safety and alignment at Meta for all Llama models. John Chu also joined as Head of People after serving in the same role for Waymo’s engineering teams, overseeing headcount growth of 400% while the company expanded globally. The company is targeting its first fully operator-less excavator deployments with customers in 2026—a milestone in autonomous capability for such complex, articulated machines.

About Bedrock Robotics
Founded in 2024, Bedrock Robotics is building the future of autonomous construction. Based in San Francisco, the company is led by former Waymo engineers who helped pioneer the systems that made fully autonomous vehicles a reality on public roads. Now they’re bringing that same deep expertise to construction equipment, developing technology that will enable contractors to improve safety, expand capabilities, and compress schedules to meet growing demand at scale. Bedrock is working alongside leading general contractors to co-develop autonomous solutions to retrofit machines like excavators, bulldozers, and loaders with a vision to make fully autonomous fleets standard on job sites across the country.

Fibr AI Raises $7.5M to Build the Agentic Web, Where Every URL Becomes an Intelligent Experience Agent

Accel leads the round, joined by WillowTree Ventures, MVP Ventures, as Fibr AI turns websites into adaptive experience systems built for modern traffic—human and AI alike

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4, 2026Fibr AI, the company building the Agentic Web Experience Layer to unlock revenue, today announced $7.5 million in Seed funding led by Accel, with participation from WillowTree Ventures and MVP Ventures, alongside prominent Fortune 100 operatorsas angel investors and advisors.

Founded by Ankur “AJ” Goyal and Pritam Roy, Fibr AI reimagines high-traffic consumer-facing websites as an adaptive system. While marketing has become dynamic, most websites still operate under the outdated assumption that the same experience should work for every visitor, even as traffic arrives with very different intent from ads, search, recommendations, and AI systems. This results in broken journeys, wasted spend, and lost revenue. Fibr closes this gap by turning websites into context-aware experiences that continuously adapt and optimize for every visitor, human or AI.

“Marketing has become intelligent everywhere except the website,” said Ankur Goyal, CEO and co-founder of Fibr AI. “We’re building the Agentic Web, where every URL operates as a living experience system that understands context and responds in real time—for humans, cohorts, and even AI agents. The website stops being a passive destination and becomes an active part of the growth stack for Marketers and CMOs.”

“Most websites today still run on infrastructure built years ago,” said Prayank Swaroop, Partner at Accel. “CMS platforms are effective at publishing content, but not at understanding context or adapting in real time. That gap is becoming more visible in conversational discovery, like ChatGPT and LLM-driven advertising, where users arrive with high intent and ready to act. The website can’t just be a destination—it has to respond immediately and intelligently. What’s compelling about Fibr is that it brings AI agents directly into the experience layer, enabling websites to understand context and adapt in real time. It consolidates what used to require multiple tools, agencies, and large teams, into one system, making true one-to-one experiences possible at scale.”

About Fibr AI

Fibr AI is an agentic website optimization platform that transforms high-traffic consumer-facing websites into adaptive, revenue-driving experiences for both human visitors and AI-Agents — by turning every URL into an intelligent agent. The company is already trusted by Fortune 50 banks and global enterprises across banking, financial services, and healthcare.

Boomband Raises $4.0M to Reinvent the Talent Market and Restore Humanity in Hiring

Monster.com founder returns with AI-powered platform to disrupt the industry he created

CHARLESTOWN, R.I., Feb. 4, 2026 — Boomband, an AI-native talent marketplace founded by Monster.com creator and entrepreneur Jeff Taylor, today announced Boomband’s upcoming launch and the closing of a $4.0 million seed round led by Boston Seed with participation from New England VC’s Slater Technology Fund, Rogue Venture Partners and Service Provider Capital.

“Having worked for Jeff Taylor at Monster.com, I was excited to invest in Jeff’s latest innovation in the human capital industry,” said Peter Blacklow, Managing Director at Boston Seed Capital. “Boomband stood out because of the strength of its founding team and understanding of the evolving job market. Jeff’s background in shaping the earliest and most influential digital employment platform gives him a unique lens on today’s AI dynamics and the changing workforce. That perspective drove how Boomband has been developed, and at launch it positions the company for ambitious growth.”

Boomband is building the alternative for millions of people sick of being ghosted by algorithms and buried by outdated hiring systems, and for the recruiters drowning in applications that lead to nowhere. The company is building a platform where humans are seen in full – not reduced to keyword-matching resumes or backward-facing profiles.

Why Boomband? Because the System is Broken.

The hiring system today is noise and volume, inundated with endless resumes and thousands of applications. Recruiters are drowning in unqualified candidates and job seekers are burning out from rejection.

“LinkedIn is where careers go to scroll. We’re building Boomband for discovery,” said Jeff Taylor, Founder and CEO of Boomband. “If you’ve ever applied for a job and heard nothing back or felt invisible because your story didn’t fit the mold, this is for you. With 7.5 million Americans out of work, people are rethinking what they want from their lives, how they define balance, and how they show up in their careers. Sending a resume into a black hole isn’t working anymore. It’s dehumanizing, inefficient, and it’s costing people real opportunities.”

Boomband flips the script:

  • No more cold applications. Players (job seekers) express interest in verified jobs. Scouts (companies) create Job Signals – both private, AI-powered outreach designed for quality, not quantity.
  • No more resumes. Players build Dossiers – a 360-degree view of a person’s potential. Dynamic, multimedia profiles that show the full story: work, projects, passions, values, goals.
  • No more job boards. The Arena is Boomband’s real-time discovery environment, where talent and opportunity meet based on mutual alignment.

Boomband is designed to put humans, not keywords, at the center of talent discovery.

“We’re not trying to fix the resume. We’re replacing it,” said Taylor. “The world doesn’t need more job boards. It needs a new way for people and companies to find each other – based on who they really are.

Boomband is launching first in New England, partnering with companies across tech, healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing. Early Scout partners include UWill, Leader Bank, CRH, Zus Health, Rochester Electronics, Wood MacKenzie, Talent Retriever, Quanterix, South Shore Health, Ionic and Maverick Technology Partners.

Boomband is currently accepting early adopters, welcoming both Players and Scouts ahead of its public launch in March 2026. Visit www.boomband.com to create your Dossier, develop Job Signals, and start finding opportunities.

“Everyone deserves to be seen,” said Taylor. “And as we build the right system, they will be.”

About Boomband
Boomband is a human-first, AI-native talent platform that connects people and opportunity through dynamic Dossiers, AI-powered matching, and a new discovery engine called the Arena. Founded by Monster.com creator Jeff Taylor, Boomband replaces outdated resumes and job boards with tools built for a world where talent is today. Backed by top seed investors and ready to use by early partners across industries, Boomband is launching first in New England before expanding nationwide in 2026.

beHuman Raises $4 Million Seed Round to Expand Equitable, AI-Driven Early Cancer Detection Nationwide

Led by Santé Ventures, the funding will enable beHuman to expand its network of health insurance partners and end customers nationally

MIAMI, Feb. 4, 2026 — beHuman, a physician-led preventive care platform focused on improving early cancer detection for underserved populations, today announced it has raised a $4 million seed round led by Santé Ventures, with participation from DHVP.io. The funding will support beHuman’s expansion beyond its current footprint in the north and southeast, accelerating its mission to make early cancer screening more accessible to patients nationwide.

While early cancer detection has become an increasingly active area of innovation within healthcare, many existing solutions primarily serve affluent, highly engaged consumers. beHuman offers a vertically-integrated solution that is designed to reach a different, and often far larger, population: insured patients who rarely or never receive recommended screenings due to geographic barriers, limited access to care, administrative complexity, or longstanding mistrust of the healthcare system.

“Early detection dramatically improves outcomes, yet millions of insured Americans are still diagnosed too late simply because the system never reaches them,” said Steve Yaskin, Founder and CEO of beHuman. “beHuman was built to meet patients where they are, especially those in rural and underserved communities, by removing friction, restoring trust, and making prevention simple, accessible, and life-saving.”

beHuman integrates virtual clinical care, advanced diagnostic testing, and longitudinal health data access to proactively identify cancer risk and guide patients through appropriate screening pathways. Its agentic AI platform automates key administrative workflows such as eligibility verification, scheduling, chart review, and follow-up, which reduces the burden on clinicians while preserving rigorous, physician-led care.

Importantly, beHuman’s model directly addresses patient concerns around data privacy and misuse, which are especially prevalent in underserved communities. The platform is designed with strict data governance, transparency, and clinical oversight to ensure patient information is used solely to support care.

Early results show that beHuman’s cancer detection rates exceed national averages. By engaging patients earlier in the disease timeline, beHuman is able to uncover risk that would otherwise go undetected until far later stages. Furthermore, the service is covered by most major insurance plans, eliminating cost as a barrier and enabling patients to participate in preventive care without a significant out-of-pocket expense.

Santé Ventures brings deep experience backing healthcare companies that modernize care delivery and improve outcomes at scale. “beHuman is addressing one of healthcare’s most persistent gaps, late cancer detection among populations the system consistently misses,” said Kevin Lalande, Founding Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer at Santé Ventures. “The team’s combination of physician leadership, thoughtful AI automation, and focus on trust and access positions them to deliver meaningful impact nationwide.”

With the new funding, beHuman will:

  • Expand into additional states
  • Deepen partnerships with leading diagnostic laboratories
  • Advance its agentic AI platform to further streamline preventive care workflows
  • Scale its physician-led virtual care teams to serve more patients efficiently

As beHuman grows, the company remains focused on its core principle: prevention works best when it is equitable, trusted, and easy to access. To learn more about beHuman, please visit www.behuman.health.
