What the Number Is Pricing
Skild's pitch is scale pragmatism: train one brain on more robot data than anyone else and let it generalize across bodies — shipping into real industrial customers via the strategics on its cap table rather than waiting for humanoid perfection. The Series C roster reads like a who's-who of companies that deploy machines (Samsung, LG, Schneider, a hospital system), which is the closest thing to commercial validation a pre-revenue lab can show.
The two dynamics worth naming: SoftBank concentration — it led both recent rounds, so the mark reflects one investor's conviction more than a broad auction — and the three-way race with Physical Intelligence ($5.6B confirmed, ~$11B rumored) and hardware-first Figure AI ($39B) to own the robot intelligence layer.

What to Watch Next
- First disclosed commercial economics. Any paid Skild Brain deployment with numbers attached converts the thesis into a multiple.
- The SoftBank factor. Whether the next round is led by someone new is the cleanest test of whether $14B was market price or single-buyer price.
- Cross-pollination signals. Strategic investors becoming customers (Samsung/LG factory deployments, Schneider industrial sites) is the pattern that separates this cluster's winners.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Skild AI worth in 2026?
Over $14 billion post-money, set by its $1.4 billion Series C announced January 14, 2026 — led by SoftBank, with Nvidia's NVentures, Macquarie, Bezos Expeditions, Samsung, LG, Schneider Electric, Salesforce Ventures, and others participating. Total raised exceeds $2 billion.
What does Skild AI actually do?
It builds "Skild Brain," a general-purpose robot foundation model designed to be omni-bodied — one model controlling many different robot types (arms, quadrupeds, humanoids) across tasks. It sells intelligence, not hardware; the customers are robot makers and operators.
Does Skild AI have revenue?
None publicly disclosed. Like Physical Intelligence, Skild is valued on the robotics-foundation-model thesis — team, research velocity, and strategic investor demand — rather than commercial traction. The strategic roster (Samsung, LG, Schneider, CommonSpirit Health) hints at where deployments are aimed.
How fast has Skild's valuation grown?
From $1.5B (Series A, July 2024) to $4.5B (Series B, mid-2025) to over $14B (Series C, January 2026) — 3.1x in roughly seven months and 9.3x in eighteen. SoftBank led both of the last two rounds, making concentration in one believer the notable cap-table dynamic.
