An $800M third fund that’s 60% larger than the last one in just 18 months says deep compute + hard science is now a dedicated asset class, not a niche. If you’re building in that intersection, assume more specialized capital, higher technical bar on diligence, and faster competition for the same frontier talent and IP.

A $152M Series A at a $1.35B post-money for a two-year-old humanoid startup says capital is now underwriting full-stack physical automation, not just software agents.
