YC-backed AI startup Pivot Robots raises funding from NuVentures

Early-stage investor NuVentures has backed US-based AI startup Pivot Robots, marking its latest investment in AI-first startups. NuVentures backed the AI testing and compliance platform RagaAI last year.

Pivot Robots didn’t reveal the amount it has raised. Founded last year by two Carnegie Mellon University graduates Siddharth Girdhar and Vignesh Rajmohan, the firm uses artificial intelligence to power automation in the manufacturing sector. Girdhar and Rajmohan earlier worked with AI and robotics teams at companies such as Meta, Google and Uber.
