Co-Founder & CEO at KEWAZO | Automating heavy industry with robotics

Everyone in industry talks about robotics. Very few have actually deployed one. That’s what KEWAZO is changing. Today we announced a new funding round — bringing total funding to $35M. The round is led by Schooner Capital, with Chevron Technology Ventures and Asahi Kasei joining as strategic investors, alongside Benson Capital, Mana Ventures, Gaingels, Atlas Ventures, and continued support from True Ventures and Cybernetix Ventures. Our robotics system, LIFTBOT, replaces cranes and manual handling on industrial sites — from refineries and petrochemical plants to power facilities. It improves safety, efficiency, and schedule predictability during maintenance, turnarounds, and capital projects. Already deployed at 20+ sites across North America and Europe. Each deployment gives us access to high-barrier industrial environments  and structured operational data. That’s the foundation of our Physical AI platform: bringing transparency today, and enabling automation tomorrow. This new capital allows us to scale deployments, expand into additional workflows, and deepen integration within existing sites. Ready to bring robotics to your site? We're here to make it happen.
