Agilink, a robotics company specializing in dexterous hands, announced on June 24, 2026, the completion of its latest funding round, achieving a post-money valuation exceeding $1 billion. The company reached unicorn status in just five months since its inception and after only four rounds of financing—making it the fastest company in the dexterous hand sector to hit this milestone to date. This round was led by strategic and industrial investors including Mirae Asset, a major internet conglomerate, and Jingming Capital, with participation from industrial resource partners such as Dongfeng Asset Management, Guoxin Zhongshu, and Shanghai Electric Science & Technology Fund. The round also received backing from financial investors including Qingxin Capital, Kailian Capital, Puhua Capital, Tianji Capital, We Venture, Zhenyan Investment, and Mingjia Capital. Existing investors Hillhouse Capital, BlueRun Ventures, and C Capital further increased their stakes. The company stated that the proceeds will be primarily allocated to three areas: scaling up mass production capacity, building a data flywheel for dexterous manipulation, and advancing the next phase of development for its Contact Intelligence models. Within five months of its founding, Agilink has delivered over 8,000 units of its OmniHand series dexterous hands and shipped more than 10,000 gripper units. According to Q1 2026 domestic market data for dexterous hands, this shipment volume ranks first in China. Its products are already operating reliably over extended periods in numerous real-world scenarios globally. Additionally, the company achieved net operational profitability in its first full quarter of operations (Q1 2026).
