## Summary

USV announced that it co-led Machenta's $40 million seed round with Creandum, as the company also emerged from stealth. Machenta says its robotics foundation model is trained entirely in simulation, with no real-world data, and can learn a task from a single demonstration without additional training, adapting when the environment changes.

## Why it matters

USV, as co-lead investor, explains why Machenta's one-demonstration learning is worth betting on, giving readers insight into the technical claims behind the funding.
