San Francisco-based robotics startup Gritt is exiting stealth with funding to automate tasks on large construction sites, beginning with solar farm builds. Multiple reports say the company has raised roughly $32–$34 million in total across pre-seed and Series A rounds. The Next Web reports that the Series A totals $26 million, with Obvious Ventures leading the round, and participation from Union Square Ventures and Active Impact Investments. TechCrunch similarly describes the company’s exit from stealth and the size of the funding, framing it as resources aimed at automating difficult construction work. The company’s approach focuses on AI-powered robotic systems intended to handle specific site tasks more efficiently by starting with solar plants. According to The Next Web, the robots are designed to bolt onto existing construction equipment, rather than replacing entire machinery fleets, enabling deployment on large-scale projects. Across the coverage, there is agreement that Gritt’s initial product and near-term deployment target is solar farm construction, with the broader goal of applying automation to other construction activities after initial rollouts.
