Overview
Foundry Robotics is an Emeryville, California contract manufacturer that combines modular robotic work cells, factory software and human technicians. Customers buy assembly capacity without building a dedicated production line.
Why Foundry Robotics is interesting
Its $100 million Series A finances an asset-heavy manufacturing-as-a-service model: the company owns the factory, retains production data and sells flexible assembly capacity.
Product & use cases
FoundryOS links robots, the factory floor and cloud software. Foundry owns and operates the production environment, assigning skills such as fastening, cabling and placement across changing hardware programs.
- Flexible final assembly for defense and dual-use robotics
- Battery-pack assembly
- Complex hardware sub-assemblies
Key facts
- Raised a $100 million Series A led by Marlinspike Partners on October 28, 2026.
- Expanded to a 130,000-square-foot factory in Emeryville.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Owning the production environment can improve access to cross-program operating data and reduce customer integration work; the advantage remains dependent on utilization, yield and changeover economics.
Hadrian is the closest factories-as-a-service comparison across defense manufacturing. Machina Labs operates software-defined robotic metal-forming infrastructure. Formic offers robot subscriptions inside customer facilities rather than owning the contract-manufacturing factory.
