XDOF, just three months out of stealth, is in talks for a Series B at a $1.2B valuation

XDOF, a robotics teleoperation-data startup co-founded by UC Berkeley researchers Philipp Wu and Fred Shentu, raised a $70 million Series A in June with backing from Thrive Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Lux, and Spark Capital, TechCrunch reported. The company is now in late-stage talks for a Series B at roughly $1.2 billion led by 8VC, sources said. XDOF, which grew from the GELLO teleoperation project, serves 20 customers and partners with UC Berkeley on the ABC robot training dataset.
