Enigma, a physical AI company based in San Francisco, has emerged from stealth with a $71 million seed round. Index Ventures and Ribbit Capital led the financing, which was announced on July 27, 2026.
Conviction Partners also took part, along with individual leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, xAI, Cognition and Wiz. Enigma was founded less than a year ago by Jonathan Jacobi and Gal Niv, and it is building an intelligence layer for robotics through its own AI research.
The company trains AI models meant to bring intelligence to any robot, on any hardware, and pairs them with new user interfaces designed to make the machines simple to control. It says it has opened the first live public AI robotics experience, letting anyone interact with real robots online in real time.
Enigma is already working with partners in entertainment, retail and health. It plans to use the new money to grow its research and engineering teams, add compute capacity and expand its deployments.
