Overview

Redwood City-based startup building commercial-grade dexterous automation with low-cost robots. Founded by repeat entrepreneurs Lindon Gao and York Yang (who previously sold Caper AI to Instacart for $350M) alongside former Google DeepMind research scientist Jason Ma. Raised $144M total ($120M Series A in September 2025 led by Robostrategy and CRV). On August 10, 2026, Dyna unveiled DYNA-2, a World-Action Model pre-trained on over 1 million hours of human egocentric video, demonstrating the first human-to-robot scaling law for robotics. Its wheeled dual-arm robot 'Sophy Swiftfold' is deployed at Monster Laundry in Sacramento — the first laundromat in North America to use a production AI folding robot.
