That\u2019s up from $91 million when the round closed in November.<\/p>\n The extended Series C, which saw participation from investors including Congruent Ventures and Wellington Management (who co-led), Blue Earth Capital, Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners, Tao Capital Partners, XN, Sequoia Capital, GV, Range Ventures and Valor Equity Partners, brings AMP\u2019s total raised to around $178 million.<\/p>\n \u201cThe capital is helping us scale our operations, including deploying technology solutions to retrofit existing recycling infrastructure and expanding new infrastructure based on our application of AI-powered automation,\u201d founder and CEO Matanya Horowitz told TechCrunch via email.<\/p>\n Horowitz founded AMP in 2014 after earning his PhD from Caltech. While pursuing his doctorate, he says he saw how powerful computer vision was becoming, and began exploring different areas where the technology could be most useful \u2014 including recycling.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter visiting a recycling facility and seeing not only how demanding conditions were, but how challenging of a working environment it could be, I recognized this industry was a compelling opportunity for robotics,\u201d Horowitz said. \u201cThe convergence of machine learning and robotics offered compelling opportunities to automate what had historically been tasks that were labor intensive, high cost, inconsistent and limiting.\u201d<\/p>\n
