Insider Brief
- Bedrock Robotics raised $270 million in a Series B round to scale autonomous construction systems, bringing total funding to more than $350 million as it moves from single-machine deployments to coordinated fleets.
- The round was co-led by CapitalG and the Valor Atreides AI Fund, with participation from NVentures, Eclipse, 8VC, Emergence Capital, and others, reflecting investor interest in automation as labor shortages and project backlogs strain construction timelines.
- Bedrock is expanding field deployments of its retrofit autonomy platform across large-scale excavation and infrastructure projects, with plans to target fully operator-less excavator operations in 2026.
Bedrock Robotics announced it has raised $270 million in a Series B funding round to scale autonomous construction systems and expand from single-machine deployments to coordinated, multi-equipment fleets on large job sites.
According to the company, the round was co-led by CapitalG and the Valor Atreides AI Fund, with participation from investors including NVentures, Eclipse, 8VC, Emergence Capital, Xora, Tishman Speyer, and others. The financing brings Bedrock’s total funding to more than $350 million, following its emergence from stealth in mid-2025 with $80 million Seed and Series A funding along with early deployments focused on supervised autonomy in mass excavation.
“The construction industry is being asked to build more than it can deliver,” Bedrock Robotics co-founder and CEO Boris Sofman said in the announcements. “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.”
According to the company, the new capital will support product development and field deployments as contractors face mounting labor shortages and growing project backlogs. Construction firms across infrastructure, industrial facilities, data centers and large-scale earthmoving are evaluating Bedrock’s systems as demand for faster project delivery collides with a shrinking workforce. Bedrock said its technology is designed to retrofit existing heavy equipment, allowing contractors to increase utilization, reduce idle time and improve worksite safety without replacing current fleets.
“What Bedrock is building will multiply what our crews are capable of,” noted Trey Taparauskas, President and CEO at Champion Site Prep. “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.”
Bedrock is positioning its autonomy stack as a planning and coordination layer for construction equipment, enabling multiple machines to operate as connected systems rather than independent assets. The company reported a recent large-scale deployment on a 130-acre manufacturing site and said it is working with contractors in several states to expand use cases.
In parallel with the funding, Bedrock has added senior leadership in AI evaluation and workforce development, as it prepares for more advanced autonomy advances. The company said it is targeting its first fully operator-less excavator deployments in 2026.
