About Nimble
Nimble is a frontier robotics and AI company building the next era of autonomous logistics. We design, manufacture, and deploy intelligent robots that enable fast, efficient, and sustainable commerce at global scale. Our team is building generalized robot intelligence and developing the world’s first generalist super-humanoid robots capable of performing all core warehouse workflows with superhuman performance.
We recently closed a $106M Series C at a $1B valuation, and we are continuing to grow our world-class team. Our long-term vision is to create the Autonomous Supply Chain—reinventing how goods move through factories, warehouses, and last-mile distribution using next-generation intelligent robotic systems.
Nimble was founded out of Stanford and Carnegie Mellon’s top AI labs and is backed by the world’s most prestigious investors. Our board includes iconic leaders in AI and robotics such as Marc Raibert (Founder of Boston Dynamics), Fei-Fei Li (Former Chief Scientist of AI at Google, Director of Stanford’s AI lab), and Sebastian Thrun (Waymo, Founder of Google X, Kitty Hawk, and Udacity).
