XDOF bước vào vòng đàm phán B với định giá 1,2 tỷ USD, ba tháng sau khi ra mắt

The Huoxing Finance report states that on September 5, according to multiple sources, XDOF—a startup specializing in collecting real-world remote control data to train general-purpose robots—has entered the late stages of its Series B funding round, less than three months after emerging from stealth mode. The company is expected to be valued at approximately $1.2 billion, with this round led by 8VC. XDOF was co-founded in 2024 by UC Berkeley researchers Philipp Wu (CEO) and Fred Shentu (CTO). The company previously completed a $70 million Series A round, with investors including Thrive Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Lux, and Spark Capital. Originally, XDOF did not plan to raise another round so quickly after its Series A, but sources say the company’s rapid business growth—annualized revenue nearing $50 million—has attracted multiple venture capital firms to proactively reach out and push for this new funding round. TechCrunch was unable to confirm the exact amount of this round or verify whether the $1.2 billion valuation includes the new funding. Sources indicate that the final terms of the deal have not yet been settled and may still change.
