Jan 2026 -- -- $4.5M raised -- Unitree contract kicked in. Featured on YC website. Closed fundraise at $4.5M.
Feb 2026 $23,000 $20,000 ~$4.2M $30K/mo First 2 software licenses sold ($10K/yr/robot). Deployed in Japan (Toyota partner), France, USA.
Mar 2026 $156,000 $44,500 ~$4.2M $50K/mo First 6-figure month. Sold robots + hardware upgrades + licenses. Inbound leads from Unitree (~1/day). Hired 3 people (Pixar alum, nuclear engineer, robotics intern).
Lightberry is the clear standout. From zero to a $156K month in under 3 months is exceptional execution. The Unitree partnership is a distribution cheat code, generating ~1 inbound lead/day from the world's largest humanoid manufacturer. ARR doubling monthly. With $4.2M in the bank and ~$50K/mo burn, they have 80+ months of runway even without further revenue. The risk is concentration: Unitree dependency and early-stage team scaling. But the trajectory is genuinely impressive.

MRR has been flat at ~$11K for 6 months while customer count is steadily declining (13 → 10). That is a concerning trend. The Feb usage spike (21K runs) was driven by a single customer and didn't repeat. The positive: burn is extremely low ($8-16K/mo) so $2.15M in the bank gives 130+ months of runway. Cyberdesk has survival time to find product-market fit, but the current trajectory is stagnant. They need a growth unlock (enterprise pipeline, product-led expansion) or the slow customer attrition will continue eroding MRR.

IronGrid

Pre-Revenue (Pivoting)

Originally robotics insurance (writing & pricing policies for autonomous systems with Apollo/Lloyd's backing). As of May 2026, ended battery contracts to pivot fully into "robotics and physical AI." Revenue was consulting/brokerage-based, not yet from core insurance product.

High risk, binary outcome. IronGrid has been stuck on the Apollo deal for 6+ months with repeated "launching next month" updates. The May 2026 pivot (ending battery revenue, going to zero customers) is a bold bet that the Apollo insurance product will eventually launch. The single-point-of-failure dependency on Apollo is openly acknowledged. Revenue has been negligible consulting/brokerage work, not core product. This is now essentially a pre-launch startup again. The upside case (first-mover robotics insurance with Lloyd's backing) is compelling if they can close, but execution risk is very high.

Oct 2025 $5,000 1 $1.1M $25K/mo Closed $1.1M funding. 1st customer converted from pilot to full term. Discontinued BPO competitor. SOC II + HIPAA compliant.
Nov 2025 $7,000 1 $1.07M $25K/mo New CTO Daniel "Trip" Master joined (Stanford CS). MRR up on annualized contract conversion. 2 inbound clinics via CCALAC events.
Dec 2025 $7,000 1 $1.05M $25K/mo CTO started. Demoed to 3 clinics (all from testimonials). 2 high-5-figure proposals sent. Pipeline growing.
Jan 2026 $14,000 2–3 $1.05M $35K/mo Via Care ($7K MRR) + BHS signed paid pilots. Contracted ARR: $288K. Hired founding engineer (Jack Boettcher, ex-AWS, Harvard). Patient messaging platform in development.
Feb 2026 $19,000 3 $1.0M $62K/mo BHS pilot launched. Both new customers praised seamless rollout. Platform generalizes well across clinics. Burn increased with new engineer.
Mar/Apr 2026 $23,000 4 $847K $43K/mo 4th customer (UMMA Health) signed — contracted ARR to $354K. Autonomous referral submission shipped (full lifecycle automated). Became CCALAC sponsor. Preparing seed round (June). Expects 5th & 6th customer in May.
Locata is a textbook steady grower. MRR 4.6x'd in 7 months ($5K → $23K) with contracted ARR at $354K across 4 customers. The product thesis is now validated: full referral lifecycle automation without clinic staff involvement, shipped and live at WMCHC. Customer acquisition is organic and referral-driven (clinics recommending to peers), which is the best kind of growth in healthcare. The concern is burn: it spiked to $62K in February before settling at $43K, and with $847K in cash they have ~20 months of runway. They're raising a seed in June, which is well-timed given the traction. Key risk is capacity-gated growth — they have more demand than they can onboard, especially across different EHR integrations. If the seed round closes, this is well-positioned.

Mar 2026 $7,350 $25K (Broadridge) 154.4K $30K/mo $3.7M Closed $3.65M raise led by FundersClub/FCVC at $35M cap. Founding engineer signed offer letter. Pipeline pushed to April due to fundraising sprint.
Apr 2026 $10,850 $25K (Broadridge) 336K $50K/mo $3.65M MRR +47% MoM. Founding engineer started 4/20, performing "12/10." Strong pipeline with BNY and First Citizens. Broadridge rollout delayed (legal approval on customer data).
Grow MRR ~65% to $18K. Sign annual contract with BNY. Roll out usage-based pricing model.
Corelayer is very early but moving fast. Only two monthly data points so far (investment closed March 2026), but the trajectory is encouraging: MRR up 47% MoM to $10.9K, error events up 218% to 336K/month, and a $25K Broadridge pilot running alongside. The fintech focus is smart — production error handling is critical in financial services and willingness to pay is high. Pipeline includes BNY and First Citizens, both marquee names. With $3.65M cash and $50K burn, they have 70+ months of runway. Key risk is the Broadridge rollout delay (legal approval) and converting pipeline to signed contracts. If the BNY annual deal closes and usage-based pricing lands, this could accelerate quickly. Too early to call a trend, but the early signals are promising.
