Neuralzome Cybernetics Secures $2.4 Million in Pre-Seed Funding

Neuralzome Cybernetics, a deeptech startup based in Bengaluru, has raised $2.4 million in a pre-seed funding round. The funding round was led by early-stage investor 8X Ventures, with participation from Turbostart, Avinya Ventures, Saka Ventures, Appreciate Capital, Astir Ventures, the Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) at IIM Ahmedabad, the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), individual investor Heston Castelino, and several other undisclosed investors.

Founded in 2023, Neuralzome Cybernetics is developing its flagship platform, NeuralPilot, which is integrated with a simulation environment called RedPill. The fresh capital raised will be directed toward advancing research in multi-agent autonomy and vision-based navigation, as well as ramping up manufacturing and building operations in North America and Europe.

The startup is targeting a Robot-as-a-Service model in high-value, labor-intensive markets such as orchard management and commercial landscaping. Neuralzome's approach shortens on-field training and reduces costs, addressing one of the main barriers to deploying robots at scale.

Mohan Sivam, co-founder of Neuralzome, stated that they are developing technologies to break the critical barriers preventing the adoption of robots in real-world applications. The startup is developing teachable, no-code artificial intelligence agents that can control robots in real-world settings without requiring specialist expertise.

Neuralzome's technology is particularly noteworthy as it produces photorealistic digital twins to train robots in complex scenarios. This innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize industries such as precision agriculture, manufacturing, and logistics by accelerating the rollout of autonomous robotics technology.

The funds raised will be used to accelerate the development and deployment of Neuralzome's technology across these industries, positioning the startup as a key player in the burgeoning field of autonomous robotics. With this investment, Neuralzome Cybernetics is poised to make significant strides in advancing the adoption of robots in real-world applications.
