(1) 2024-07-12, $63M cumulative through Series B (led by General Catalyst): https://standardbots.com/blog/standard-bots-raises-63m-to-accelerate-ai-in-robotics; The Robot Report says 'more than $63 million in total', counted as $63M. (2) 2026-06-09, $200M Series C led by RoboStrategy: https://www.therobotreport.com/standard-bots-raises-200m-expand-u-s-manufacturing-footprint/. Excluded: $14M Series A (2023-03-29, https://standardbots.com/articles/standard-bots-raises-14m-in-series-a-funding-from-lachy-groom) because the $63M is a running total that appears to contain it, so adding it would double-count; no page opened itemises the $63M. Database totals of $87M-$463M excluded as unsourced. Valuation: $1B, 2026-06-09. Founded-year conflict: press says 2011; investor RoboStrategy says robot work began in 2017; no incorporation filing found.",
