C-Infinity Raises $16M in Funding Led by Canaan Partners

Apr 23, 2026 | By Startuprise io

C-Infinity, a Mountain View, CA-based provider of an AI platform that automates the translation of digital designs into production-ready plans, has raised $16 million in a funding round led by Canaan Partners, with participation from Inventus Capital, Bee Partners, and Radius Capital. The company plans to use the funds to grow its operations and continue developing its products.

C-Infinity’s AutoAssembler solves this problem by working within existing engineering workflows to automate process planning, speed up engineering change reviews, and create production-ready assembly instructions. It is already used by Fortune 100 manufacturers and smaller companies, helping reduce tasks that once took weeks down to minutes, enabling faster product launches, lower costs, and more flexible manufacturing.

C-Infinity represents a shift in industrial technology from systems that only track processes to ones that actively help run them. As AI becomes part of core engineering work, this kind of intelligence will play a key role in how products are designed, built, and scaled.

“Manufacturers have worked with this bottleneck for years, and it’s generally accepted as business as usual,” said Sai Nelaturi, CEO of C-Infinity. “What’s changing now is that AI can move into physically reasoning about how products are actually built, allowing companies to reduce the time between design and production in a way that wasn’t previously possible.”

“After advising Sai for two years, it's clear C-Infinity is building the missing compiler for the physical world,” said Kumar Sreekanti, Venture Partner at Canaan Partners. “For too long, the manual translation from digital design to production has been a massive hidden cost and a bottleneck for throughput. By applying first principles geometric reasoning to the engineering workflow, they turn weeks of manual backlog into minutes of automated planning delivering the deterministic logic that high mix manufacturing finally needs.”

“C-Infinity combines deep technical innovation with clear, real world applicability, something that is rare in this category,” said Kanwal Rekhi, Managing Director at Inventus Capital Partners. “The team is solving a hard problem that directly impacts manufacturing efficiency, and competitiveness.”

About C-Infinity

Founded in 2023, by Sai Nelaturi, C-Infinity builds AI for mechanical design and manufacturing. Its AutoAssembler platform connects with CAD and PLM systems to automate process planning, speed up engineering workflows and create production ready assembly instructions, helping manufacturers reduce manual work, improve accuracy and move faster from design to production.
