Today, Viam announced the close of $45M Series B financing, an exciting milestone to fuel the company mission to accelerate AI, data, and innovation across robotics, IoT, and smart machines.

Funding will be used to deepen enterprise partnerships, advance our developer ecosystem, and create a powerful bridge between software and hardware. Read the full announcement here.

Today is an exciting milestone for Viam. I’m incredibly grateful to our team and investors, excited about what’s ahead, and convinced more than ever that the inflection point in automation isn’t just coming, but it’s here and rapidly transforming the devices we use everyday. And Viam is not only pushing that future forward, but defining it.

Everywhere we look, we’re surrounded by devices that promise a lot, and deliver a little. From the beginning, our guiding thesis has been that if we can make it easier to write software for those machines — if we can empower developers with flexible, intuitive, and powerful tools — we’ll massively accelerate innovation in the real world. Now, it’s happening.

Viam is designed to be the modular, flexible, and powerful bridge between software, hardware, the cloud, and AI. We’re living in an exciting moment. And at Viam, we want to be the ones that make that technology possible on real machines, any hardware, robotics, and sensors in the physical world. We’re building the underlying core technology to make sure modern capabilities work seamlessly on the devices you use everyday.

Now, as we reflect on our growth to this point and Viam’s next chapter, I’m excited to share more about how the platform is evolving, our work with enterprises and industry partners, and where we see the future headed.
