The AI ??Robotics Data Platform Mecka AI Completes $60 Million Financing Round, Led by Framework Ventures

1 hours ago

On June 1, Mecka AI—a startup focused on robot AI training data—announced a total of $60 million in funding. This sum includes a $25 million Series A round that closed last November, plus an additional $35 million in follow-on financing. Both rounds were led by Framework Ventures, with participation from Menlo Ventures, SV Angel, Kindred Ventures, and other investors. Mecka AI collects human motion data via body-worn sensors, iPhones, and custom hardware, covering gestures, gait, and other physical behavioral patterns to train robot AI models. Founder and CEO Josh Gao stated the company’s core philosophy: using real human behavioral data rather than traditional teleoperation data to train robots, a method he says will enhance robots’ general capabilities for real-world scenarios. Founded in 2025, Mecka AI currently has about 40 employees. Based on signed contracts, the company projects its annual recurring revenue (ARR) run rate will reach $100 million, though it has not disclosed specific customer names. Framework Ventures co-founder Vance Spencer noted Mecka AI is one of the fastest-growing companies in the firm’s portfolio. For its future, Mecka AI plans to expand beyond providing training data to actively participate in robot model training and deployment, with the aim of driving the commercialization of robots in real-world applications.

SpaceX is considering reserving up to 5% of its IPO shares for purchase by employees and executives' friends and family

June 1 — SpaceX on Monday disclosed for the first time in an updated IPO prospectus that it plans to reserve up to 5% of its Class A common stock for subscription by employees and the friends and family of its executives ahead of its upcoming initial public offering. Last month, the aerospace firm had revealed that participants in its so-called "friends and family list" would be exempt from lock-up restrictions — a deviation from standard IPO directed share programs, where participants are typically bound by lock-up agreements that bar immediate share sales. In Monday’s filing, SpaceX added that over 60% of its pre-IPO issued shares will be subject to a 366-day lock-up period, including shares held by CEO Elon Musk, who has agreed to the 366-day lock-up arrangement.

Trump: Iran Seeks Deal, Urges Outside to Stop Meddling in Negotiations

June 1: U.S. President Donald Trump took to social media to announce that Iran is “open to a deal,” asserting that a final agreement would benefit the U.S. and its allies. Trump also slammed Democratic lawmakers and some Republican officials for weighing in on his Iran policy—including pushing him to accelerate or delay negotiations, calling for military action or caution amid tensions. He argued this ongoing political meddling has made diplomatic efforts far more difficult. The president urged the public to “relax and be patient,” noting things would eventually be resolved properly, and reaffirmed his commitment to continuing related negotiations. In a separate development, U.S. Central Command said Iran launched two ballistic missiles at U.S. troops stationed in Kuwait late Sunday local time. American missile defenses successfully intercepted the missiles, resulting in no U.S. casualties or facility damage. This was the latest Iranian missile attack on U.S. military targets in the

「The Big Short」 Michael Burry Questions SpaceX and Anthropic Valuation: Both Not Worth $1 Trillion

June 1: Michael Burry, the central figure of *The Big Short* who famously bet against the U.S. housing market to profit from the 2008 financial crisis, recently expressed skepticism over the $1 trillion-plus valuations of SpaceX and Anthropic, asserting neither has the long-term fundamentals to justify such price tags. In comments on his Substack, Burry said any future growth in SpaceX’s valuation would come from market speculation and technical factors, not actual business performance. He argued the aerospace company’s IPO prospectus failed to provide a credible basis for valuations between $1 trillion and $2 trillion. SpaceX’s S-1 filing projects 2025 revenue of $18.7 billion and a net loss of $4.9 billion, while market consensus broadly pegs its upcoming IPO valuation at around $2 trillion. Turning to Anthropic—an AI startup that recently wrapped up a funding round at a $965 billion valuation—Burry voiced similar doubts. He called the large language model (LLM) development model "
