Human Capital led a $52m Series A round in Medra.

Human Capital, a venture capital firm for engineers, led a $52m Series A round in Medra, a company developing a platform for physical AI scientists, with participation from Lux Capital, Neo, NFDG, Catalio Capital Management, Menlo Ventures, 776 and Fusion Fund. The new funding will help Medra expand its partnerships and build a lab in the Bay Area that Lee says will house about 100 robots. There, Medra can direct the instruments, allowing them to work nights and weekends and generate data that it can put back into its models.
