Augury has announced that it has raised $75 million, with the round being led by Lightrock with participation from several of Augury’s existing investors – Insight Partners, Eclipse, Qumra Capital as well as Schneider Electric Ventures and Qualcomm Ventures. The new round represents an increase in valuation for Augury, which maintains its position as the only ‘unicorn’ startup in the Production Health category. Since its last funding round in 2021, Augury has seen a five-fold increase in revenues, tripled customer base among Fortune 500 manufacturers, and expanded its product portfolio from asset performance and reliability to incorporate AI driven solutions for process optimization.

“Augury has a long history of firsts, from the introduction of prescriptive AI-driven solutions that eliminate downtime and the first truly global-scale Industrial IoT deployments in our category to the introduction of AI solutions that encompass both machine and process health,” said Saar Yoskovitz, Augury co-founder and CEO. “With this new funding we will continue that track record, breaking new ground in the introduction of Agentic-AI capabilities that build on our expertise and that our customers can trust across their most critical assets and processes.”

“Augury is at the forefront of digitalizing equipment maintenance with AI-driven solutions that enhance cost efficiency, sustainability performance, and energy savings,” commented Ashish (Ash) Puri, Partner at Lightrock. “Their predictive maintenance technology, boasting 99.9% failure detection accuracy and a 5-20x ROI when deployed at scale, significantly reduces downtime and energy consumption for its blue-chip clients globally, offering a compelling value proposition. The entire Lightrock team is delighted to support Saar and his talented team as they take Augury forward as the category-defining leader in its industry.”

Augury drives rapid Industrial AI adoption and strong ROI for global leaders like PepsiCo, DuPont, and Colgate-Palmolive. Since its last funding round Augury has tripled its number of $1 million-plus accounts, and has achieved over 500 million hours of machine data analyzed by its platform and an estimated $1 billion of value generated for customers utilizing its machine and process health solutions in over 40 countries. Augury’s solutions drive significant sustainability gains, including reduction of up to 37% process waste and 2% energy efficiency gain per manufacturing plant. It has also been estimated that by 2040, Augury’s solutions will cut emissions by ~12%, resulting in 3 MMt of CO2 reduced annually across the world.

“We are proud of our position as a leader in Industrial AI,” said Yoskovitz. “But we see our accomplishments to-date as simply the preparation for the opportunity we have ahead of us.

Joby Aviation, a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, announced the successful closing of the first $250 million tranche of a previously announced strategic investment from Toyota Motor Corporation. The funding marks a significant milestone in strengthening the long-term collaboration between the two companies and supports their shared vision for the future of air mobility. The investment is aimed at supporting certification and commercial production of Joby’s electric air taxi. This underscores the mutual commitment to deepening integration and delivering next generation travel to global markets. This investment also puts the two companies a step closer toward a strategic manufacturing alliance.

In a statement JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby said, “We’re already seeing the benefit of working with Toyota in streamlining manufacturing processes and optimizing design.” “This is an important next step in our alliance with Toyota to scale the promise of electric flight. With this capital and Toyota’s legendary production expertise, we’re enhancing our ability to scale cutting-edge design and manufacturing to meet the demands of our partners and customers.”

Joby Aviation is a California-based transportation company developing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing air taxi which it intends to operate as part of a fast, quiet, and convenient service in cities around the world. Powered by six electric motors, their aircraft takes off and lands vertically, giving it the flexibility to serve almost any community. Flying with Joby might feel more like getting into an SUV than boarding a plane. The company's aerial ridesharing service will combine the ease of conventional ridesharing with the power of flight. A green alternative to driving that's bookable at the touch of an app. With more than 30,000 miles flown on full-scale prototype aircraft, their aircraft is designed to meet the uncompromising safety standards set by the FAA and other global aviation regulators. Joby Aviation is now engaged in a multi-year testing program with the FAA to certify their vehicle for commercial operations, and have completed the first three of five stages.
