Nimble is a robotics and AI company inventing and scaling autonomous logistics with intelligent robots to enable fast, efficient, and sustainable commerce. We’re developing generalized robot intelligence and building general-purpose mobile manipulator robots, the first in the world capable of performing all core warehouse functions. We've recently closed a $106M Series C funding round at a $1 billion valuation and we're continuing to grow our all-star team.

Our mission is to empower and inspire mankind to accomplish legendary feats by inventing robots that liberate us from the menial.

Our long-term vision is to invent the Autonomous Supply Chain – everything from the inside of factories and warehouses to your front door – using next-gen intelligent robotics to deliver faster, more efficient, and more sustainable commerce.

We were founded from the AI labs at Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. We’re backed by the World’s most prestigious investors and Nimble’s Board of Directors includes AI and robotics legends like like Marc Raibert (Founder of Boston Dynamics), Fei-Fei Li (Chief Scientist of AI at Google, Director of Stanford’s AI lab), and Sebastian Thrun (Founder of Google X, Waymo, Kitty Hawk, and Udacity)!
