Bedrock Robotics Secures $270M Funding to Drive Autonomous Revolution in Construction
San Francisco-based Bedrock Robotics has successfully raised a substantial $270 million in a Series B funding round. This massive influx of capital brings the company’s total funding to over $350 million, as it continues its mission to revolutionize the construction industry with autonomous heavy machinery.
The funding round was co-led by CapitalG (Google’s growth fund) and the Valor Atreides AI Fund. Other participants included NVIDIA’s venture capital arm, NVentures. Bedrock, founded by former Waymo engineers in 2024, specializes in retrofitting construction equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, and loaders with autonomous technology. This enables the machinery to operate with minimal human supervision.
Bedrock is aiming to deploy its first fully autonomous excavator by 2026. This comes in response to the critical labor shortages currently plaguing the construction sector. The industry is expected to require nearly 800,000 additional workers over the next two years, with project backlogs already exceeding eight months. Bedrock’s autonomous systems are currently being tested across ports, industrial sites, data centers, and large earthmoving projects in multiple states.
“The construction industry is being asked to build more than it can deliver,” said Boris Sofman, co-founder and CEO of Bedrock Robotics. The company has recently expanded its leadership team with key hires from Meta and Waymo. This strategic move positions Bedrock to orchestrate fully connected autonomous fleets that could fundamentally reshape how contractors plan and execute work.
