Humanoid robot funding report: October 2025

Humanoid robotics funding fell to zero in October 2025, with zero deals closed and no new capital invested—the first blank month since the sector's acceleration began. Year-to-date totals stand at $4,146 million across 21 rounds, sustained entirely by earlier deployment. September had recorded $1,120 million across 2 rounds, meaning October represents a complete pullback from that activity level.

No deal-level breakdowns were available for stage or geography in this reporting period. The sharp contrast between September's $1,120 million and October's $0 million suggests deal flow timing, not a fundamental deterioration in investor appetite, though the month underscores the sector's deal concentration among a small number of late-stage recipients. Sustained YTD activity confirms continued institutional capital allocation to humanoid robotics, but October makes clear that deployment is episodic rather than consistent month-to-month.
