Midcentury, a data and simulation infrastructure startup for physical AI, exits stealth with a $15M Series Seed, betting that enriched human action data — not raw video — is how to break robotics' data bottleneck.
It already supports frontier labs with a claimed world's largest egocentric dataset (2M+ hours, 50+ environments, 20,000+ tasks) and Matrix, a simulation platform built on real-world data for evaluating and post-training policies at scale.
