Mistral boss and Yann LeCun back Swiss robotics startup Enact in $30M pre-seed round

Enact Intelligence, a Swiss robotics startup founded by former Physical Intelligence engineer Manuel Yves Gallier, has raised $30M in its pre-seed round with backing from high-profile investors including Mistral boss Arthur Mensch and Meta's former AI chief Yann LeCun. The company is developing tactile sensing technology that enables robots to sense force and touch through their actuators, allowing for more accurate object manipulation in industrial and real-world settings. This approach differs from vision-focused robotics competitors. Investors include Redalpine, Notion Capital and Firstminute Capital, with funding earmarked for team expansion and hardware R&D.
