Sources

Total funding

Checked — none published

No official press release or single authoritative figure found. CB Insights, PitchBook and Tracxn each report a different cumulative total ($7.1M, $4.62M and $4.52M respectively). Real, dated named rounds exist -- a $2.5M raise per The Robot Report, a separate $2M from Qualgro per Nordic9 -- but summing them does not reconcile with any of the three aggregator totals, so guessing which rounds are double-counted would be worse than leaving this null.

Employees

Checked — none published

Checked 2026-08-27 and no citable figure found. Four sweeps were run and all came back empty for this company: (1) its own /about, /about-us, /company, /careers, /jobs and /team pages, pattern-matched for a self-published headcount; (2) stockanalysis.com's private-company page, which footnotes each figure to its source; (3) its Forbes company profile, which states a headcount and the month it is as of; (4) a targeted web search. Everything the search returned was a LinkedIn-scraping aggregator, and those disagree with each other by wide margins and cite nothing, so they are not used here. The field is null rather than carrying the round guess it held before.
