Dash Robotics Raises $2.7 Million

Dash Robotics, a Silicon Valley hardware startup developing futuristic, app-controlled robots, today announced it has raised $2.7 million in funding, led by Ironfire Ventures.

During the 2017 holiday season, Dash Robotics made a big-box debut of its first product in partnership with Mattel, Inc. The products, Kamigami Robots, are currently available at Amazon, Target, Toys”R”Us, and other major retail locations. The company plans to use the new funding to partner with large toy and entertainment companies to bring more connected toys to life.

Kamigami, a series of $49 robot kits, was one of the most sought-after children’s products of the 2017 holiday season. Once assembled, the Kamigami robots can be programmed or steered remotely using a mobile device.
