Scale Venture Partners, a venture capital firm, led a $45m Series C round in Dusty Robotics, a robotic solution provider, with participation from Baseline Ventures, Canaan Partners, Root Ventures and NextGen Venture Partners. “Construction is rampant with manual workflows -- processes where a phone call, or an email, must be sent in order to move the project forward or work that must be done precisely, via manual labor. With so little automation in the industry, it’s no wonder that 85% of projects finish over budget, contributing directly to the housing crisis. Our robot-powered solutions automate construction’s manual workflows, increasing productivity across the industry while also creating better working conditions for skilled craftspeople,” Tessa Lau, Dusty Founder and CEO.
