See every app and control every action in real time. Neo prevents agentic threats across devices, browsers, identities, and applications. observed
No person- or entity-level identity check is on record for this company. A name match is not one.
The inclusion bar: two or more independent sourced evidence families. This profile is published and listed. It is a statement about how much evidence we hold, and about nothing else.
We have not established fit. That is not a soft no and not a soft yes — it is unknown, and it is never counted as a qualified prospect.
Derived connections from primary evidence — Form D officer rosters and shared lead investors. A shared name is a lead, not proof of identity.
Subdomains appearing in public certificate-transparency logs — infrastructure standing up, dated at detection. Intent labels are deterministic (token map), not guessed.
↗ Strongest signal: funding_magnitude (18% of the score).
↓ Scored on 2 of 4 components — adoption, developer had no computable metric.
Cross-source signals that survived the scoring gauntlet or were hand-curated. ✓ verified = bound to an exact transcript passage with a voiceprint-confirmed speaker.

The platform's own early signals for this company — hard-to-fake, and where one preceded a real raise, the measured lead.
if and when that time came that we had to make a tough decision, we would make the right one. But today we don't have to make that decision. So I'm going to keep everyone focused on the application space that makes a lot of sense for us to make money.
I know that we have the best robot and the most capable robot in the world.
EOD is one of, you know, explosive ordinance disposal is something that's a great use case for robots. And you're doing that currently? We do that currently.
we have great ties with the government and we're happy to do any non-weaponization work with them. And we do do that today.
I'm all about focus right now. We need to be focused on the markets that we think we're going to win in.
So focus. It's focus. It's not philosophical.
what we're trying to do right now in industrial use cases is a distraction for our business.
we have an anti-weaponization stance.
I sincerely believe that we have a platform now, which is so uniquely capable and so well situated that allowing people to build on this will open up how to use Neo across all of our society, not just in homes.
it's like a $500 a month subscription.
we sold out the first 10k in the first few days.
we are going to allow a lot of people to build on Neo. So we are also launching Neo as a platform. That's happening in the coming weeks.
we will ship in 2026. ... it'll be slow in the beginning. We want to do it right. But there will be a handful of customers of Neo in 2026

funding.round.announced_on 2026-07-20 artifact ↗ funding.round.amount_usd 2026-07-20 artifact ↗ An evidence gap, not proof of falsity: Form D is not always required (foreign offerings, certain exemptions) or may not be filed yet.
A first sale, a filing, an amendment and a public announcement are not the same event, and one date may not stand in for another. Where the latest financing date cannot be established from what we hold, this says unknown rather than substituting a date we do have.
A reported round dated 2026-07-20 by its own source.
Companies coupled to this one by a shared investor — if a common backer pulls back or a fund hits trouble, the shock propagates across the set. More shared investors = tighter coupling.
