Fetch Robotics raises $46 million to expand warehouse automation internationally

Placed against our sci-fi expectations, robotics have largely fallen short — with one notable exception. In 2019, automation is a mainstay in factories and warehouses. There the technology has been proven out in the field, and VCs are happy to invest millions.

This morning Fetch Robotics announced a $46 million Series C raise. The round, led by Fort Ross Ventures, brings the San Jose-based warehouse automation company’s total funding up to $94 million. New investors CEAS Investments, Redwood Technologies, TransLink Capital and Zebra Ventures joined the round, along with existing investors O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, Shasta Ventures, SoftBank Capital and Sway Ventures.
