Deeptech robotics startup Neuralzome Cybernetic has secured $2.4 million in a pre-seed funding round led by 8X Ventures.

The funding round saw participation from Turbostart, Avinya Ventures, Saka Ventures, Appreciate Capital, Astir Ventures, IIM Ahmedabad’s CIIE, SIDBI, and Heston Castelino.

The Bengaluru-based startup will use the fresh capital to boost its R&D in multi-agent autonomy and vision-based navigation. A portion of the funds will also be used to increase manufacturing and to expand in North America and Europe.

Neuralzome Cybernetic, which was founded by Mohan Sivam and Aditya Shriwastava in 2023, builds teachable, no-code AI agents for real-world autonomy. It follows a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model to serve high-value and labour-intensive industries.

Last month, deep-tech robotics company Unibose Technology raised Rs 5.5 crore in a pre-Series A round led by O2 Angels, with participation from IN44 Capital, Coimbatore Innovation and Business Incubator, and other strategic angel investors.
