Coco Robotics raises $80M to scale sidewalk delivery robots

Coco Robotics has raised $80 million in strategic funding to accelerate the development of its AI-powered sidewalk delivery robots, scale its fleet, and expand enterprise partnerships. Founded in 2020 and based in Santa Monica, the company has completed over 500,000 zero-emission deliveries across major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami, as well as in Helsinki, its first European market. Coco aims to deploy thousands of vehicles by the end of 2025, focusing on creating sustainable, reliable, and affordable last-mile logistics solutions. The funding round included returning investors like Sam and Max Altman and new participants such as Ryan Graves, former Uber SVP and current CEO of Saltwater. Coco Robotics’ autonomous delivery robots combine self-driving technology with remote human supervision to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and ease urban traffic congestion. The company has formed partnerships with major platforms like Uber and DoorDash, expanding its reach through pilot programs and live rollouts in multiple cities. For
