## About Neura Robotics

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: NEURA Robotics develops cognitive robots that see, hear, feel, and learn, designed to work alongside humans in industrial, service, and household settings.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C — raised up to $1.4 billion as of 2025/2026)
- **Headquarters**: Metzingen, Germany (with offices in Bielefeld and Munich, and US locations in preparation)
- **Founded**: 2019
- **Founders**: David Reger

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Cognitive Robotics, Humanoid Robotics, Industrial Automation, AI
- **Target customers**: B2B (industrial clients, integrators, strategic partners); also B2C via household robots like MiPA
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "We serve humanity by creating robots that give people back their time for what matters most. Our mission is to expand human potential through cognitive robotics that work safely alongside us."

## Products & Services
- **4NE1**: Production-ready humanoid robot designed for industrial workflows and everyday assistance, powered by proprietary AI (AURA). Built for mass production.
- **MAiRA (Multi-sensing Intelligent Robotic Assistant)**: The world's first cognitive robot arm — a collaborative robot that senses, responds, and adapts.
- **LARA (Lightweight Agile Robotic Assistant)**: Collaborative industrial robot for agile, lightweight automation tasks.
- **MiPA (My Intelligent Personal Assistant)**: Humanoid service and household robot for home assistance.
- **MAV (Multisensing Autonomous Vehicle)**: Mobile transport robot for logistics and material handling.
- **NEURA OmniSensor**: Proprietary sensor technology enabling robots to perceive their environment.
- **Neuraverse**: A global platform connecting robots, developers, and partners into a shared intelligence network where every deployment makes each robot smarter. Also serves as a marketplace for robotics applications.
- **NEURA Gyms**: Real-world training facilities where robots learn complex tasks in controlled environments to generate high-quality data for AI model validation.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total investment >€100 million in 2023; Series C up to $1.4 billion (2025/2026); 2024 revenue in mid-double-digit million euros; 2025 target: triple-digit million euros
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lingotto Investment Management, BlueCrest Capital Management, InterAlpen Partners, Vsquared Ventures, HV Capital, Delta Electronics, C4 Ventures, Primepulse, L-Bank, Volvo Cars Tech Fund. Strategic partners include Qualcomm, Bosch, Schaeffler, NVIDIA, and AWS.
