Figure is building autonomous general-purpose humanoids powered by its proprietary AI system, Helix.
The current flagship, Figure 02, features hands with human-equivalent strength and 16 degrees of freedom. The newly completed Figure 03 is a ground-up redesign with custom actuators, motors and a 2.3 kWh battery enabling up to five hours of operation per charge.

Round: Series A
Lead Investor: Lightspeed
Doctronic is a 24/7 “digital front door” for healthcare that combines a multi-agent “AI doctor,” a centralized electronic medical record, and a national network of licensed physicians.
The platform is a proprietary multi-agent “AI doctor” system that performs real-time triage and consults, embedded within a HIPAA-compliant infrastructure and unified electronic medical record. Patients begin with AI-driven intake and differential generation followed by co-piloted care where licensed physicians step in for actions requiring clinical oversight, including prescriptions, lab orders, and referrals.

Amount: $23M 🎉
Round: Series A
Lead Investor: DST Global, Thrive Capital
Console offers AI agents that operate inside Slack to automate and resolve internal support tickets.
Their platform connects to a company’s internal systems and executes scripted playbooks for resolving routine issues while escalating edge cases to human staff. Customers define these playbooks once, and then their agents handle repeatable issues autonomously across the organization. The product integrates directly with systems like Okta, Slack, and internal knowledge bases to trigger workflows, deflect tickets, and improve service velocity.
