Origin will use the capital to deploy its OG-1 robot, conduct customer pilots in the US and Europe, and build a fleet of 150 construction robots by the end of 2027. Zacua Ventures founding partner Vivin Hegde joined the startup's board as a director.
OG-1 automates wall finishing tasks including applying compound, sanding, and priming.

Origin says it has deployed robots at construction sites in New York and is exploring pilots in Germany, Sweden, France, and Saudi Arabia.
