## Mecka's $60M Series B
Mecka raised $60 million Series B funding on October 7th, led by Sequoia Capital, NVIDIA, Microsoft's M12, Qualcomm Ventures, and Samsung.
## Robot Data Gap
Robotics labs need human motion data that web scraping cannot capture for tasks like folding shirts or using tools.
## Human Motion Focus
Mecka's founders previously sold restaurant payments and sneaker resale businesses before pivoting to human activity data collection.
## Data Production Costs
Robotics companies raised nearly $48 billion year-to-date in 2:2026 for physical data infrastructure, with Mecka reporting $100 million run-rate revenue by June.
## Mecka's Services
Mecka builds capture hardware, reconstruction models, and runs recording operations in homes and commercial settings.
## Blurring Lines
Mecka helps customers integrate systems, collect data on-site, and improve models after deployment, creating new training material.
## What's Next
Mecka aims to become a durable infrastructure layer for robot training data as robotics companies build proprietary collections.
## Key takeaway

Mecka raised $60 million Series B funding to collect human motion data for robotics, addressing the lack of physical-world training materials online.
