What it does

Founded in 2026 by Sanja Fidler after she left Nvidia, where she ran the Spatial Intelligence Lab behind its Cosmos world model, with Zan Gojcic (CTO) and Huan Ling (chief scientist). The bet is the generative branch of camp 2 pointed at robots: build multimodal world models that simulate physical reality well enough that embodied agents can learn inside them at unlimited scale, instead of collecting teleoperation data. The $90M seed, co-led by Radical Ventures and Khosla Ventures, is among the largest seed rounds in the camp.
