Elon Musk Rival? Ray Kurzweil’s Beyond Imagination Lands 0M Deal As Tesla, Nvidia, Meta Race Toward AI-Powered Humanoid Robots
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn


Ray Kurzweil, the AI futurist best known for predicting the rise of the singularity, is taking a major step toward turning science fiction into industrial reality. His humanoid robotics company, Beyond Imagination, has secured a $100 million investment from Gauntlet Ventures in a Series B round that pushes the startup’s valuation to $500 million, Reuters reports.

Founded alongside scientist, entrepreneur, and filmmaker Harry Kloor, Beyond Imagination is building Beomni, an advanced humanoid robot developed for deployment in high-demand industrial settings, according to the company’s website. Reuters says that the startup is also working on a universal operating system called Aura, designed to streamline communication and functionality between humans, robots, and legacy machinery.

Kurzweil’s long-held vision of a future dominated by intelligent machines is moving from bookshelves to production lines. His prediction that artificial intelligence would exceed human intelligence by 2045 once raised eyebrows, Reuters reports. According to Bloomberg, AI startups raised a record $97 billion in funding in 2024 alone, making artificial intelligence one of the most heavily backed sectors in venture capital.

According to Gauntlet Ventures co-founder Oliver Carmack, the decision to back Beyond Imagination stemmed from the company’s capacity to address a looming global issue: the skilled labor shortage. The startup’s bot, with its AI-driven adaptability, is being positioned as a solution for industries like pharmaceutical manufacturing, chip fabrication, and automotive assembly, sectors that demand high precision and long-term workforce support, Reuters says.

Beyond Imagination is currently testing its humanoid robots and seeking enterprise partners for deployment in industrial settings, aiming to help revolutionize U.S. manufacturing through AI-driven automation, according to Reuters.

Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.

The company isn’t short on heavyweight support. According to Beyond Imagination’s website, its advisory board includes former Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) CEO Paul Jacobs, motivational speaker and business strategist Tony Robbins, and former Paramount Pictures Chair Jim Gianopulos.

Story Continues

Their backing, combined with Gauntlet’s $100 million investment, sets Beyond Imagination apart in a market flooded with robotics startups vying for capital and attention. According to Reuters, Gauntlet Ventures is the sole investor in this Series B round, a bold show of confidence in both Kurzweil’s vision and the company’s near-term commercial potential.

This latest funding round comes at a time when several major players are entering or expanding their own robotics divisions. Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Optimus robot, Meta’s (NASDAQ:META) AI systems, and Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) development tools are all pushing the industry forward. Kurzweil’s company is positioning Aura as a system designed to integrate humans, robots, and legacy machinery, Reuters says.

Despite the hype, progress in robotics has remained slower than in conversational AI. According to Vox, while chatbots and other language-based AIs have surged ahead, powered by vast amounts of readily available training data from text, images, and video, physical robots remain years behind.

Unlike language models, which can be trained in parallel across millions of central processing unit cores and datasets scraped from the internet, robots need to learn by interacting with the physical world in real time, Vox says.

As industrial sectors look for automation that delivers beyond traditional robotics, Beyond Imagination may lead that charge with fresh capital and an AI strategy focused on industrial deployment.
