Robotics bet this month

Avego led Opentrons' $40 million Series E on October 29, 2026, with BroadOak Capital Partners also investing. Managing partner James Flexner said every AI-driven discovery still has to be tested in a real lab.3,2

The bet is that labs using AI to design experiments will standardize on low-cost, open robots to run them. Opentrons has more than 11,000 robots deployed, though the valuation of the round was not published.3
