Formic raised a $50M Series B, led by Mercato Partners, with an asset-backed facility from S2G Investments

Formic Robotics Funding November 6, 2026

Here’s what that capital is built on: → 100+ facilities across 30+ states → 99.6% fleet uptime → 97% customer renewal rate

Those numbers come from small and mid-sized manufacturers who make products for some of the biggest brands in the country. They run our robots on palletizing, case packing, pallet wrapping, and machine tending, on a flat monthly rate with no capital expense.

This round lets us deploy faster, expand the fleet, and bring more of the next generation of robotics, including humanoids, to plants that have historically been left out of automation.

Candidates targeting industrial robotics should watch Formic's job postings closely in the near term.
