Bedrock Robotics has raised a $600 million Series C at a $4.1 billion post-money valuation, co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital, the company announced on October 26, 2026. New investors include the US Innovative Technology Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners and Temasek; 8VC, Georgian, Valor Equity Partners, Xora, Eclipse, Perry Creek Capital and Nvidia returned. Bedrock has now raised nearly $1 billion in total.
Why it matters: construction has more machines than drivers and the machines already exist. Bedrock sells autonomy installed on a contractor’s own equipment, not a new robot.

What does Bedrock say its machines are doing?
The company says that since mid-August 2026 its fully autonomous excavators have performed paid work on live commercial job sites. That is a self-reported milestone; no independent verification was published. Bedrock says its customer base has more than doubled since 2025. Named customers include Haydon in Texas, Wagner Construction in Minnesota, Clarkson Construction in Missouri, C.W. Matthews in Georgia and B&S Site Development in Virginia.
Who runs it and what will the money pay for?
Chief executive Boris Sofman co-founded the company after leading Waymo’s trucking unit. Bedrock emerged from stealth about a year ago. The new capital will expand fully autonomous deployments to more contractors and build field, commercial and operational infrastructure. It also hired Amy Jones Satrom, formerly of Amazon, Nuro and Uber, as vice president of operations.
