Gecko Robotics is a robotics and AI company delivering intelligent inspection and maintenance solutions for critical infrastructure. Using wall-climbing robots, powerful sensors, and a data-driven platform, Gecko helps organizations monitor asset health and make informed, proactive decisions.
Gecko Robotics has raised $125 million in a Series D round led by Cox Enterprises, reaching a $1.25 billion valuation and achieving unicorn status. To date, the company has raised $347 million from investors including USIT, XN, Founders Fund and Y Combinator.
Gecko Robotics, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, was founded in 2013 by Jake Loosararian and Troy Demmer. “Gecko was built out of my college dorm room, to what it is today – the company ensuring the safety of public infrastructure, the optimization of energy and manufacturing facilities, and the modernization of allied militaries to deter global conflict,” said Jake Loosararian, co-founder and CEO of Gecko Robotics. “We built our Operating Platform, Cantilever, with an ontology that starts with first principles and questions the integrity of data – because in the built world, data is guilty until proven innocent. Developing robots to diagnose built environments ensures our data and AI-powered software can transform and modernize physical infrastructure around the world. The lack of quality data that exists on our built world is why there has been a huge surge towards Gecko.”
