SynthBee raises a fresh $80M in funding from Crosspoint Capital Partners. SynthBee and its founder, Rony Abovitz, are on a mission to help enterprises radically accelerate their innovation across the product and technology lifecycles, from concept to manufacturing. Today, the Fort Lauderdale-based stealthy startup announced it has raised a lot more funding to accelerate its development and gets its technology to more companies. SynthBee, the pioneer what it calls Collaborative Intelligence, or CI, today announced the completion of $100 million in funding with Crosspoint Capital Partners, an investment firm focused on the cybersecurity, privacy, infrastructure and AI software markets. SynthBee closed an additional $80 million from Crosspoint Capital last week, which follows an initial $20 million in seed funding from Crosspoint Capital raised in late 2024. This new investment will go toward development of SynthBee's CI(TM) technology platform, market expansion, and talent recruitment, the company said. The news closely follows November's appointment of former Lockheed Martin Skunk Works leader John Clark as SVP of Engineering Systems & Manufacturing Operations. SynthBee's target customers are in medical technology and healthcare, aerospace and defense, advanced manufacturing, automotive, financial services, and other key industries in "mission critical, high-performance areas across complex, regulated markets," said Abovitz, a serial entrepreneur who also founded Mako Surgical, acquired by Stryker for $1.65 billion, and more recently Magic Leap. "Our proprietary CI(TM) platform empowers businesses to solve complex scientific, engineering, design, compliance and creative challenges at extreme speed, with high accuracy, high privacy, high reliability, under human control and with clear auditability," continued Abovitz, SynthBee's CEO, in a statement. "This investment enables us to deepen our work with businesses across numerous vertical markets that require secure, high-reliability systems for their most important engineering, manufacturing, and field operations." Abovitz says large-scale systems chasing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) contend with major hurdles in accuracy, security, trust, governance and ethics. SynthBee, on the other hand, enables businesses to solve complex scientific, engineering, design, and creative challenges much more safely and effectively. SynthBee's pursuit of Collaborative Intelligence was inspired by Abovitz's time at Mako Surgical, where he and his team built a human-compatible, interactive robot with "collaborative robot intelligence," Abovitz shared at the 2025 CrossRoads Summit in Coral Gables. "[Mako's robot, Mako Rio] has now done millions of cases at thousands of sites around the world, with super human accuracy - incredibly good clinical results, no hallucinations." And it's why SynthBee is building a decentralized, trustworthy approach to AI, one with transparency, testability and human-centric design, Abovitz continued, in his remarks at the December conference. "There is a way forward that you can blend people and non-human intelligence in a very compatible way. It's meant to support us, but us in the center." In today's announcement, Andre Fuetsch, Managing Director of Crosspoint Capital, said the firm was "blown away" by the power of SynthBee's business case for the customer. "We're incredibly excited about what the SynthBee team has created, its cohort of industry-leading customers, and the scale of the opportunity ahead. The team has invented a new way for organizations to harness intelligence at speed and with confidence," said Fuetsch, in a statement. "SynthBee's differentiated CI platform is precisely the kind of bold, grounded innovation Crosspoint wants to back for the long term."

SynthBee, a stealth startup developing a Collaborative Intelligence platform, has completed $100 million in funding led by Crosspoint Capital Partners. The round includes an initial $20 million seed investment and an additional $80 million secured last week. Founded by Rony Abovitz, entrepreneur behind MAKO Surgical (acquired by Stryker for $1.65 billion) and Magic Leap, SynthBee aims to accelerate enterprise innovation across product and technology lifecycles. The platform targets customers in medical technology, healthcare, aerospace, defence, advanced manufacturing, automotive and financial services. The company's proprietary CI technology promises to solve complex engineering, design and compliance challenges with high accuracy, privacy and reliability. The funding will support platform development, market expansion and talent investment across mission-critical, regulated markets in the United States and internationally.
