## About Genesis

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Genesis AI is a full-stack robotics company building general-purpose robots with human-level dexterity and intelligence, powered by its own foundation model and hardware.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage – $105M raised)
- **Headquarters**: Paris, France (with offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and London)
- **Founded**: 2024 (emerged from stealth in July 2025)
- **Founders**: Zhou Xian (CEO), Théophile Gervet (President & Co-founder), Yi-Ling Qiao (Co-founder), Tsun-Hsuan Wang (Co-founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Robotics Engineering / General-Purpose Robotics
- **Target customers**: Enterprises in manufacturing, laboratories, hospitals, and logistics; future expansion into homes.
- **Mission**: “Build the world’s most capable robots that unlock new possibilities for humans.”

## Products & Services
- **Eno (General-Purpose Robot)**: A full-body robot designed to operate reliably in factories, labs, hospitals, and homes. Driven by the GENE foundation model, it features 20 active, back-drivable degrees of freedom in its hands – matching human size and dexterity.
- **GENE-26.5 (Foundation Model)**: The AI model that powers Eno. It understands goals, reasons through changing conditions, and completes tasks end-to-end. Trained on massive human-based internet video data and proprietary simulation.
- **Data Collection Glove**: A lightweight, sensor-loaded glove worn by humans to collect high-quality manipulation data in real-world settings (e.g., lab technicians, manufacturing workers). This glove bridges the “embodiment gap” and feeds the model with human skill data.
- **Simulation System**: A proprietary simulation environment that accelerates model training and evaluation, reducing the iteration bottleneck.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$105M** (Seed round, July 2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Eclipse (co-lead), Khosla Ventures (co-lead), Bpifrance, HSG; individual investors Eric Schmidt, Xavier Niel, Daniela Rus, Vladlen Koltun. Hardware manufacturing partner: Wuji Tech (China).
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount grew from stealth to ~53–60 employees across Paris, Bay Area, and London (monthly growth +16% on LinkedIn).
  - 29 active job postings as of mid-2026, with a +262.5% monthly increase in openings.
  - Demonstrated a wide range of manipulation tasks (cooking, piano, Rubik’s cube, lab work) in public demos.
  - In talks with multiple customers for commercial deployment in pharma and manufacturing.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full-stack integration**: Genesis controls both the AI model and the robotic hardware, enabling tighter optimization and faster iteration than companies that only do software or hardware.
- **Human-like dexterity**: The robotic hand matches human size, shape, and 20 degrees of freedom, allowing direct transfer of human demonstration data without an “embodiment gap.”
- **Data flywheel**: The combination of a low-friction data collection glove, simulation, and egocentric video creates a scalable pipeline for building a “human skill library.”
- **World-class team**: Founders and early engineers have backgrounds from Mistral AI, NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, Apple Intelligence, Unity, Epic, and leading robotics labs (Berkeley, CMU).

## Strategic Focus
- **Go full stack**: Continue integrating model, hardware, and data collection to deliver a complete general-purpose robot.
- **Commercial rollout**: Target early customers in pharmaceutical labs, manufacturing, and other industrial settings where dexterous manipulation is critical.
- **Scale data collection**: Expand the use of the data glove (both internally and with third-party partners) to rapidly grow the model’s skill repertoire.
- **Global hiring**: Aggressively grow the team across Paris, Bay Area, and London, especially in ML, simulation, rendering, and robotics engineering.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Values include candor, responsibility, limitless ambition, and a joyful journey. The team is described as multicultural, optimistic, and pragmatic.
- **Work model**: Hybrid/office-based presence in Paris, San Francisco Bay Area, and London. No explicit remote policy mentioned, but the company emphasizes in-person collaboration.
- **Engineering culture**: Builders get to work on the hardest problems in robotics and AI – from foundation models to hardware design to data systems. The team includes pioneers of generative simulation, Diffusion Policy, and GPU compilers.
- **Notable perks**: The chance to shape a category-defining general-purpose robot; close collaboration with world-class investors and advisors; fast-growing startup with significant resources ($105M seed).
