SSM ‘s Lindsey S. Mignano serves as Managing Partner

San Francisco, Nov. 20, 2025 — Starlife, a humanoid robotics company building technology that turns physical jobs into remote work, has completed its $3 million pre-seed funding round. The company’s platform enables workers to operate humanoid robots from anywhere in the world, expanding workforce access to physical operations and unlocking new labor efficiencies for enterprises, as detailed at Starlife.ai. With new capital secured, Starlife plans to accelerate product development, expand partnerships, and bring its platform into broader commercial deployment.

Lindsey S. Mignano, Co-Founding Partner of SSM, served as the Managing Partner during the fundraising round and was assisted by SSM Senior Counsel Phil Omorogbe and SSM Counsel Nichola Xani. “Starlife represents exactly the kind of frontier technology company we’re excited to support,” Mignano said. “We’re looking forward to continuing to guide the company through their next stages of growth.”

Mignano advises emerging technology companies across their lifecycle—from formation and U.S. market expansion to mergers & acquisitions, commercial and technology transactions, and venture financing. Her work has earned consistent industry recognition: Mignano was named a Super Lawyers “Rising Star” every year from 2016–2024, an honor awarded to only 2.5% of attorneys under 40. In 2025, she tuned 40 years old and received the Super Lawyers distinction for the first time —an award awarded to just 5% of attorneys — and was one of only 12 Northern California female corporate attorneys recognized that year.
