| May 2021 | Series B | Addition (lead); Basis Set Ventures; Lemnos VC; Drive Capital | $56M | - | Path Robotics is a Columbus, Ohio-based artificial intelligence company specializing in autonomous robotic welding systems for manufacturing. The company designed the world's first truly autonomous robotic welding system, using scanning, computer vision, and AI to adjust to different parts and account for variables like reflective metals. Its technology allows robots to understand their environment and task, learn from failures, and improve themselves—capabilities that industrial robots have historically lacked. The company addressed a critical gap in the welding industry where the American Welding Society projected a shortage of approximately 400,000 skilled welders by 2024. In May 2021, Path Robotics announced a $56 million Series B funding round led by Addition, with participation from returning investors Drive Capital, Basis Set, and Lemnos Lab, bringing total funding to $71 million. According to CEO Andrew Lonsberry in the Series B announcement, the company experienced rapid growth through the second half of 2020, with 2021 revenue projected to be four to five times that of 2020. The capital was designated to perfect the engineering of its AI-driven autonomous welding robot and aggressively expand sales to manufacturers across the country. |
