      "what_it_builds": "AXIBO, through its AXIBO AI division, is building a general-purpose humanoid robot platform (its founders compare it to Henry Ford's Model T) meant to later branch into specialized 'focused humanoids'; its first product line was an AI-powered robotic camera/gimbal system for film and video production, from which the humanoid effort grew. Its first humanoid prototype is temporarily code-named 'T.E.B.' and was slated to debut in early 2026, with no public unveiling confirmed as of November 2026.",

Named investor: Balaji Srinivasan (ex-Coinbase CTO), per BetaKit. Converted to USD using the implied rate from the source (USD 7.5M = CAD 10.4M, i.e. 1 CAD = USD 0.72115): CAD $12,000,000 = USD $8,653,846. No prior or later rounds found. Pre-2025, AXIBO was self-funded/crowdfunded (a ~CAD $100,000 Kickstarter for its camera product, per BetaKit) which is not an equity raise and is excluded.",
