CarbonSix Raises $40M in Series A Funding Led by DSC Investment

The round also saw participation from new investors IMM Investment, Korea Development Bank (KDB), SV Investment, Cortentia (U.S.), and ASQ (A Squared, U.S.), and all existing investors Foothill Ventures, Storm Ventures, Zeitgeist Capital, Xquared, and CarbonBlack Fund.

The company plans to use the funding to expand its operations and accelerate product development.

Unlike many robotics AI companies that are still in the testing or pilot stage, CarbonSix develops robotic AI software and hardware that can be deployed directly in real manufacturing environments. The company focuses on reliability, easy integration, and clear returns for customers, helping it secure commercial contracts and grow its revenue.

A key strength of CarbonSix is its proprietary "data flywheel" approach. Instead of relying on large general purpose datasets, the company provides practical automation tools that factories can use immediately. As customers use these tools, the system collects real world task data to improve its AI models. This continuous feedback loop helps CarbonSix deliver smarter and more effective automation solutions over time.

"From the very beginning, our goal has never been about building technology for technology's sake—it has been about creating practical, field-ready Physical AI that drives measurable bottom-line results for manufacturers," said Tae-yeon Terry Moon, CEO of CarbonSix. "This funding validates our deployment-first, revenue-backed approach. We will aggressively invest in top-tier talent and infrastructure to accelerate the Physical AI transition for factories worldwide."

"CarbonSix is a rare gem in the robotics AI landscape because they have bridged the gap between technical demos and actual factory-floor monetization," said Seongmin Kang, Director at DSC Investment. "We were highly impressed by the scalability of their data flywheel model, where immediate utility and continuous data accumulation reinforce each other to build an unassailable competitive moat."

"As the Physical AI market enters a hyper-growth phase, CarbonSix stands out by already proving its commercial value and operational reliability in production environments," added Matthew Sungwook Jung, Senior Investment Manager, at LB Investment. "We are thrilled to partner with a team that possesses both world-class academic pedigree and deep operational empathy for the manufacturing sector as they scale into a global leader."
