Dyna Robotics Raises $120 Million in Funding

Dyna Robotics, a general-purpose robotics developer powering the future of the physical economy led by Lindon Gao, Jason Ma, and York Yang, has secured $120 million in funding led by CRV, First Round Capital, and RoboStrategy with participation from Nvidia Corp., Amazon.com Inc., and Salesforce Inc.

The round highlights investors’ growing confidence in a new wave of AI-powered robotics. Founded in 2024, Dyna develops AI models that help robots learn and adapt in real-world environments. Its stationary robotic arms are already at work in restaurants, gyms, and laundromats—folding napkins, towels, and clothing.

Rather than coding robots with fixed instructions, Dyna trains them to learn from environmental data. By operating in real-world settings, the robots continuously improve, becoming faster and smarter over time, Gao said. Unlike rivals chasing full humanoid mobility, Dyna focuses on simpler, high-value tasks that don’t require legs. With a 30-person team, the company plans to use its new funding to refine its AI models and scale robot deployment.
