Marble Technologies, a robotics and AI company that keeps an office in Cambridge, Massachusetts and runs much of its operation out of Lincoln, Nebraska, has raised $30 million in a Series A round backed mostly by Nebraska investors. The financing was reported on June 3, 2026.
The company, founded by veterans of Omaha software firm GrainBridge, builds complex robotics and artificial intelligence systems that automate meatpacking. Marble now sorts 3 percent of U.S. beef production every day, with systems running in meatpacking plants in Omaha, central California, and Kansas.
Each of Marble’s automated pack-off lines costs around $1 million and comes with software license and service fees. In exchange, meatpackers get a system that improves food safety, with cameras that can check whether meat is properly vacuum-sealed, and that sorts cuts of meat quickly and accurately so clients and consumers get what they pay for.
When the company started, its founder worked out of an office in Massachusetts before the team decided to commit to Nebraska, in the heart of the beef industry. Marble joined a wave of agtech companies coming out of The Combine, a startup incubator and accelerator. The company employs about 40 people, most of them in Lincoln, with some at the Massachusetts satellite office, including electrical, mechanical, and machine learning engineers. Marble is also developing X-ray and CT scanners that can analyze meat on the inside.
