Genesis is a global physical AI lab and full-stack robotics company. We build generalist robots to unlock unlimited physical labor, so humans can focus on creativity, curiosity, and what we love.

Our vision is built on three core pillars:

• A scalable data engine that fuses real-world robot interaction, high-fidelity physics simulation and rendering, and Internet-scale embodied data to train a universal robotics foundation model — capable of controlling any robot, for any task, anywhere.
• An open-source ecosystem that accelerates progress of the entire field through scalable simulation infrastructure and open-weight foundation models.
• Robust robot deployments that prove adaptability in the wild — thriving in messy, unconstrained environments and paving the way for robots to become a transformative force for humanity.

Achieving this requires bridging the historically siloed robotics, high-fidelity simulation, rendering, and foundation model communities. Genesis aims to be the cornerstone of this effort.

Founding Team

We are a new generation of robotics builders, united by a shared mission to push the boundaries of physical AI. Our team brings together the minds behind many of the most significant advances in robotics and AI in recent years — spanning the full stack.

We introduced generative simulation, created foundational platforms such as Genesis, Jiminy, Flightmare, GVBD Voxels, and invented the IPC algorithm. We led the development of the first multimodal models at Mistral AI and Apple Intelligence. We co-created UMI and Diffusion Policy, pioneered reinforcement learning frameworks for superhuman drone racing, and scaled robotic data systems at NVIDIA GR00T. We built cross-platform GPU compilers such as VeriGPU, DeepCL, Coriander, and the original PyTorch. We also built industry-leading rendering engines at Google, Epic and Unity. Now, we’ve come together at Genesis AI to close the loop, and build what’s next.

Backed By

We’re proud to be backed by Eclipse, Khosla Ventures, Bpifrance, HSG, and visionary leaders including Eric Schmidt and Xavier Niel, as well as AI pioneers Daniela Rus and Vladlen Koltun.

How We Work

Limitless Ambition

“You don’t have to tell others, but shouldn’t you drop the modesty and say to yourself: ‘Yes, I want to do first-class work.’” — Richard Hamming

High-Integrity Infrastructure

Build for the long haul. Get the details right. Speed comes from trust in the system.

Bias to Shipping

Research serves the product. Each launch is when the rubber hits the road. Ship faster, learn faster. Time is the denominator.

Type-2 Fun

Outlier results require outlier effort. Take the work seriously, not yourself. Embrace the grind, and find joy in the struggle.

Radical Transparency

Candid communication builds trust. Direct feedback drives growth. Truth over approval.

Multiculturalism

We come from across the world. Be curious. Meet people on their terms.

Team Over Ego

Build the best product, not your ego. Help others. Share context. Win as a team.

A Joyful Journey

The road is tough, and the mission is bold — that’s why we care deeply about how it feels along the way. Happiness isn’t a byproduct; it’s part of how we get there.

Join Us

We engineer our DNA with every new team member’s diverse experience. We commit to:

• Give you a playground to shine — massive ownership and opportunity for impact
• Treat you like an investor — full transparency, a voice in company direction, and mutual trust for the long haul
• Keep the org flat as long as possible — everyone is, first and foremost, an individual contributor

General-purpose robotics is the next big chapter in human history. Join us to be part of writing it.
