Our Investment in Lightberry, Bringing Agentic Software to Humanoid Robotics

We invested in Lightberry, a YC company giving humanoid robots the ability to see, hear, speak, and collaborate naturally with humans. At Blitzscaling Ventures, we invest in companies building AROW (Agentic Robotics Orchestration & Workflows), the emerging software layer that enables AI agents to operate in the physical world.

Humanoid robotics is reaching an inflection point. Hardware partners like Unitree, working alongside Lightberry, have made major advances in mobility and physical capability. Robots can now walk, balance, and operate in human environments. The remaining challenge is intelligence and interaction.

Lightberry provides this missing layer. Their software enables robots to perceive environments, communicate conversationally, and act autonomously in real-world workflows. Instead of remote-controlled machines, robots become usable teammates out of the box across workplaces, public spaces, and everyday operations.

We believe robotics is entering a software-defined phase where value shifts from hardware to orchestration and autonomy. Lightberry sits at this critical intersection, aligning directly with our AROW thesis as AI agents move from digital systems into physical environments.

We were impressed by CEO Ali Attar and the team’s vision that robotics adoption depends on human interaction as much as mechanical capability.

We’re proud to support Lightberry as they help define the software layer powering the humanoid robotics era.
