Co-led by DSC Investment and LB Investment, with full follow-on participation from all seed investorsValidates market readiness by shifting from lab research to immediate factory-floor deployment and revenue generationCapital earmarked for aggressive talent acquisition, infrastructure scaling, and global market expansion

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CarbonSix,Inc., a pioneer in Physical AI for the manufacturing sector, announced today that it has raised $40 million (approx. KRW 60 billion) in a Series A funding round from a syndicate of premier U.S. and South Korean venture capital firms.

The round was co-led by DSC Investment and LB Investment. New investors joining the round include IMM Investment, Korea Development Bank (KDB), SV Investment, Cortentia (U.S.), and ASQ (A Squared, U.S.). Demonstrating strong continued confidence in CarbonSix’s technology and scalability, all existing seed-round investors—Foothill Ventures, Storm Ventures, Zeitgeist Capital, Xquared and CarbonBlack Fund—fully participated with follow-on investments.

While much of the robotics AI sector remains capped at lab demos and pilot stages, CarbonSix distinguishes itself by developing deploy-ready robotic intelligence software and hardware (robotic hands/manipulators) engineered for immediate integration into real-world manufacturing lines. From day one, the company has prioritized field reliability, seamless adaptability, and clear return on investment (ROI) for its clients—a strategy that has already translated into commercial contracts and scaling revenue.

At the core of CarbonSix’s competitive edge is its proprietary “data flywheel” business model. Instead of dumping massive, generalized datasets into abstract foundation models, CarbonSix provides practical automation tools that factories can use immediately. As clients operate these tools, high-quality, task-specific data is naturally captured and fed back into the system. This creates a powerful compounding loop: tool usage drives data accumulation, which refines the AI models, ultimately delivering even smarter automation tools back to the factory floor.

The company’s rapid commercial traction is anchored by the deep domain expertise of its founding team. CEO Tae-yeon Terry Moon previously co-founded SuaLab, an industrial AI vision powerhouse acquired by Cognex. CTO H.J. Terry Suh, a Ph.D. graduate from MIT, drives the company’s robotic intelligence framework, while CHO (Chief Hardware Officer) Je-hyeok Kim, a former Yale postdoc, specializes in state-of-the-art robotic hand and manipulator design.

“From the very beginning, our goal has never been about building technology for technology’s sake—it has been about creating practical, field-ready Physical AI that drives measurable bottom-line results for manufacturers,” said Tae-yeon Terry Moon, CEO of CarbonSix. “This funding validates our deployment-first, revenue-backed approach. We will aggressively invest in top-tier talent and infrastructure to accelerate the Physical AI transition for factories worldwide.”

“CarbonSix is a rare gem in the robotics AI landscape because they have bridged the gap between technical demos and actual factory-floor monetization,” said Seongmin Kang, Director at DSC Investment. “We were highly impressed by the scalability of their data flywheel model, where immediate utility and continuous data accumulation reinforce each other to build an unassailable competitive moat.”

“As the Physical AI market enters a hyper-growth phase, CarbonSix stands out by already proving its commercial value and operational reliability in production environments,” added Matthew Sungwook Jung, Senior Investment Manager, at LB Investment. “We are thrilled to partner with a team that possesses both world-class academic pedigree and deep operational empathy for the manufacturing sector as they scale into a global leader.”

DENVER, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vendavo, the leader in AI-powered pricing, quoting and rebate software used to turn complexity into commercial advantage, today announced it signed an agreement to acquire Model N’s High-Tech business unit, subject to closing, to advance its leading position in semiconductor and high-tech manufacturing. This acquisition strengthens its ability to serve customers with a more comprehensive revenue and channel management solution.

The acquisition brings together Vendavo’s pricing, quoting, and rebate capabilities with Model N’s channel data management and execution expertise, creating a more complete system for managing the full revenue lifecycle, from price setting through channel execution to net price realization.

“We are investing to provide a unified solution that’s purpose-built for scale, complex channel dynamics, and price complexity that are hallmarks of semiconductor and high-tech manufacturing,” said Sharath Dorbala, CEO of Vendavo. “This combination gives our customers the ability to own the full revenue lifecycle and command greater control over pricing, quoting, rebates, channel execution, and data.”

Built for the Reality of High-Tech Manufacturing

Semiconductor and high-tech manufacturers operate with extraordinarily complex channel dynamics, multi-layer pricing, high-volume rebates and incentives, short product lifecycles with increasing pressure on margins, and massive transaction scale.

“High-tech manufacturers face a level of channel and pricing complexity that requires precision, scale, and deep domain experience,” said Bret Connor, CEO of Model N. “We’ve focused on helping customers manage that complexity with confidence, and bringing these capabilities together with Vendavo strengthens how customers execute across revenue and channel operations.”

Following the closing of this transaction, Model N will continue to operate its life sciences business, serving pharmaceutical and medtech customers worldwide.

The acquisition of Model N’s High-Tech business unit strengthens Vendavo’s position as a leading provider in the industry, bringing deep vertical expertise, embedded AI, and robust capabilities across pricing, quoting, rebates, and channel operations, supporting mission-critical processes inside these complex environments.

Vendavo will work to maintain continuity for existing Model N customers across systems, teams, and support while providing a clear path forward:

A unified platform across pricing, rebates, and channel managementGreater visibility into margin and performance driversAI applied where it improves financial performance and decision-makingContinued investment in high-tech use cases

The approach is designed to ensure stability for customers with their existing solutions, with a clear view into how Vendavo will deliver innovations in revenue and channel management.

Vendavo’s existing customers can take advantage of channel data management capabilities designed to support the collection, cleansing, and management of complex channel data, with the ability to scale and automate high-volume distributor interactions.

Integrated into the Vendavo platform, this creates a stronger commercial foundation:

Channel execution connects directly to pricing and rebate strategyMargin performance becomes more visible, not inferredDecisions become defensible and more data driven

“Channel data management is foundational to modern revenue execution and is a key reason we are making this investment,” said Vendavo SVP Product Management, Gloria Kee. “When it’s structured and connected, execution becomes measurable and optimal. We see a significant opportunity to accelerate innovation for high-tech and semiconductor manufacturers and capture new growth.”

This acquisition accelerates Vendavo’s vision of a unified commercial platform that captures value systematically across pricing, quoting, rebates, and channel execution.

By connecting these elements, Vendavo enables organizations to:

Replace fragmented workflows with a coherent systemTurn complexity into pricing, revenue, and margin advantageMove from execution alone to measurable optimization
