Zip raises $13.5 million for SME cybersecurity
Zip Security, a provider of cybersecurity solutions to small and midsized enterprises, tells Axios that it's raised $13.5 million in Series A funding. Why it matters: All companies face hacking risks, but often only the largest can afford dedicated cybersecurity staffers. At the same time, some are vendors to Fortune 500 companies and could be held accountable if information gets stolen. What they're saying: "A solar panel installer in Hawaii was hacked last year," says Josh Zweig, Zip Security's CEO. "It looked like they were emailing their suppliers and telling them to update their ACH information for accounts receivable." "Their head of security was also their head of engineering — of solar panels ... They eventually came to us, but only after they'd already had to shut down for a week." Zoom in: Ballistic Ventures led the new round, and was joined by Silver Buckshot, The Chainsmokers' Mantis VC and return investors like General Catalyst, Box Group and Human Ventures.

RealSense Completes Spinout from Intel, Raises $50 Million to Accelerate AI-Powered Vision for Robotics and Biometrics
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RealSense, a pioneer in AI-powered computer vision, today announced its successful spinout from Intel Corporation and the close of a $50 million Series A funding round. With investment led by a renowned semiconductor private equity firm and participation from strategic investors, including Intel Capital and MediaTek Innovation Fund, RealSense now operates as an independent company focused on advancing innovation in AI, robotics, biometrics and computer vision. 'We're excited to build on our leadership position in 3D perception in robotics and see scalable growth potential in the rise of physical AI,' said Nadav Orbach, CEO of RealSense. The new capital will fuel RealSense's expansion into adjacent and emerging markets and scale its manufacturing, sales and go-to-market (GTM) global presence to meet increased demand for humanoid and autonomous mobile robotics (AMRs), as well as AI-powered access control and security solutions. 'We're excited to build on our leadership position in 3D perception in robotics and see scalable growth potential in the rise of physical AI,' said Nadav Orbach, CEO of RealSense.

Intel spins out AI robotics company RealSense with $50 million raise
Intel is spinning out its artificial intelligence robotics and biometric venture as more companies bet big on automation tools. The new company, known as RealSense, was announced Friday and comes alongside a $50-million Series A funding round that includes MediaTek Innovation Fund and Intel Capital, the chipmaker's venture arm that it is also spinning out. RealSense, which makes the tools and technology for robotics automation, said it plans to use the funding to develop new product lines and meet growing demand worldwide. Nadav Orbach, Intel's current vice president and general manager for incubation and disruptive innovation, will serve as CEO. "The timing is now for physical AI," as the technology gains more use cases and traction, Orbach told CNBC in an interview. "We want to develop new product lines. We see the demand and we see the need, and with where it's at right now, the right thing for us was to raise external funds." Companies across the globe have ramped up investment in the burgeoning robotics space as AI use cases expand. Morgan Stanley expects the market for humanoid robots to hit $5 trillion by 2050 as tech companies, including Tesla and Amazon, bet big on the technology and automation. Elsewhere, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called robotics the biggest opportunity for the chipmaker after AI, and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff last month claimed AI is handling 30% to 50% of the software vendor's work. Intel has undergone a series of cost-cutting plans after the worst year for its stock in decades. The company axed CEO Pat Gelsinger and cut jobs last year as it struggled to keep up with AI competition. In April, the company said it would sell a majority of its stake in chip subsidiary Altera. RealSense, formerly known as Intel Perceptual Computing, was created more than a decade ago to investigate 3D vision technology and launched its first product in 2015. The company employs about 130 people across the U.S., Israel and China and caters to autonomous robot manufacturers such as Eyesynth and Unitree Robotics. Orbach said RealSense is focused on bringing more safety tools to the industry and easy-to-use technology for its customers. Intel will maintain a minority stake in the company.
