San Francisco–based Bedrock Robotics has raised $270 million in Series B funding as it pushes to bring autonomous heavy machinery to large-scale construction sites across the US.
The round was co-led by CapitalG and the Valor Atreides AI Fund. The financing also drew backing from a long list of strategic and financial investors, including Xora, 8VC, Eclipse, Emergence Capital, NVentures, Tishman Speyer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgian, Incharge Capital, and C4 Ventures, among others.
The new capital will be used to expand Bedrock’s operations and accelerate the development of its autonomous construction platform, as demand grows for safer, more productive job sites.
Bedrock Robotics emerged from stealth in July 2025 with $80 million in Seed and Series A funding. Less than a year later, the Series B round signals growing investor confidence that autonomy is ready to move from experimentation to everyday use in construction.
Autonomy for construction sites
Bedrock was founded by Boris Sofman (CEO), Kevin Peterson (CTO), Ajay Gummalla (VP Engineering), and Tom Eliaz (VP Engineering).
The US company works directly with general contractors to retrofit existing heavy equipment, such as excavators, bulldozers, and loaders, with autonomous capabilities.
Instead of requiring entirely new machines, Bedrock’s system is designed to integrate with current fleets, allowing companies to upgrade equipment already in use.
The company’s long-term goal is to make fully autonomous fleets a standard feature of construction sites, especially as the industry struggles with labour shortages, rising costs, and safety risks.
Addressing the mounting pressure
Construction remains one of the world’s largest industries, accounting for close to 15% of global GDP, yet it faces mounting pressure.
Bedrock’s autonomy platform combines perception, planning, control, and safety into a single system built for unpredictable, high-risk environments.
Construction sites are constantly changing, with uneven terrain, moving equipment, and tight safety margins, making them far more complex than controlled industrial settings.
The company says its software is already running in live production environments with major contractors, including Sundt Construction, Zachry Construction, and Champion Site Prep.
Bedrock’s system allows site managers to translate project plans or CAD files into machine-level tasks, coordinating multiple autonomous machines to work together safely and efficiently.
Over time, the platform learns from real-world operations, improving performance across different sites and equipment types.
