XDOF Nears Series B at $1.2 Billion Valuation
Sep 6, 2026
Robotics data startup XDOF is in talks to raise a Series B at a valuation of about $1.2 billion, with 8VC expected to lead the round.
XDOF is in talks at a late stage to raise a Series B at a valuation of about $1.2 billion, with 8VC expected to lead the round, according to Dealroom. The total amount and whether the valuation includes the new capital remain unclear, and the terms could change.
XDOF closed a $70 million Series A in June and emerged from stealth less than three months ago. Its annualized revenue is approaching $50 million, and it works with 20 customers, including several major AI labs.
Founded in 2024 by UC Berkeley researchers Philipp Wu and Fred Shentu, XDOF collects real world teleoperation and human movement data for training general purpose robots. It also builds data pipelines, collection tools, and annotation systems for AI labs and robotics companies.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?
Tensordyne
This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
