From Prototype to Platform: Civ Robotics Secures $7.5M to Power the Future of Renewable Construction

When we first invested in Civ Robotics, they were still rolling out a prototype across dusty construction sites. But even then, it was clear they weren’t just building impressive robotics technology; they were solving a real, persistent problem in high-stakes environments, and generating immediate, obvious, and quantifiable ROI for customers (and these customers shared this sentiment with us in our reference calls).

Fast forward to today: Civ has announced a $7.5 million Series A raise to accelerate its growth, led by Alley Corp, with follow-on support from C2 Ventures and other early backers. We’re proud to have been one of the first investors through our 2019 Fund I and are thrilled to continue backing Liav, Tom, and the entire Civ team as they scale into the renewable energy market and beyond.

This raise will allow the company to lean into a proven sales model and materially accelerate growth, and is also a signal of just how well the company is executing on its product and commercial efforts.

Infrastructure is Changing. Civ is Helping Build It.

For years, critical infrastructure industries, utilities, construction, and renewable energy have struggled to modernize legacy workflows that were manual, slow, error-prone, and often dangerous. Civ Robotics’ field layout automation system replaces the outdated process of manually staking site coordinates with autonomous robots that increase speed, accuracy, and safety by orders of magnitude.

Construction Robotics is Essential

This isn’t just a "nice-to-have" innovation. It’s a foundational upgrade for an industry that quite literally builds the backbone of the economy.

Solar and wind developers now utilize Civ to significantly reduce layout time and labor costs on massive utility-scale projects. As more governments and private companies commit to decarbonization and grid expansion to support (among other things) a massive new expansion of AI data centers, the demand for speed and precision in field operations is only increasing.

The Right Tool for the Job

We often say we invest in tools, not toys. Civ Robotics is a perfect example.

Their technology doesn’t chase hype. It tackles real, repeatable problems in “dirty, dull, and dangerous” work, where automation isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Their robots don’t just look cool (although, to be fair, they do). They save hundreds of hours per project, reduce human error, and protect workers from harsh conditions.

Just as importantly, the team has built their solution with the end user in mind. The robots are field-deployable with minimal training and designed to slot directly into existing project workflows, one of the many reasons they’ve earned the trust of some of the world’s largest EPCs and solar developers.

What’s Next?

This new funding will fuel Civ’s continued expansion into renewables and other infrastructure-heavy sectors, while scaling production, distribution, and go-to-market efforts.

For us, this isn’t just a follow-on investment. It’s a recommitment to a company (and a category) we believe in deeply: robotics solutions built for high-friction, high-impact industries. The kind of work where every second and every stakeholder matters.

Congratulations to the entire Civ Robotics team. We’re honored to be on the journey with you.
