Generalist raises USD 198.2M extension at USD 3B valuation
Generalist sold USD 198.2 million of new equity in a follow-on to its June financing, bringing the robotics-foundation-model company valuation to USD 3 billion.
Why it matters
Generalist disclosed $198,224,662 sold in a new equity offering; Axios reported that 8VC led the round with participation from existing investors.
Evidence notes
- The SEC Form D reports USD 198,224,662 of securities sold, a USD 208,224,570 total offering and an August 7 first-sale date.
- 8VC led the additional capital, which valued Generalist at USD 3 billion.
- The USD 198.2 million follow-on remains separate from the June USD 400 million financing; the USD 600 million figure is the combined Series B total and is not duplicated as this event amount.
Company context
Generalist builds embodied foundation models for robots, initially focused on dexterous manipulation. Its work combines real-world robot interaction data, in-house data-collection hardware and models intended to generalize across tasks.
