LONDON: SEED Innovations Ltd, an AIM-quoted investment company, has invested $1 million in Feather Robotics Inc., a U.S.-based developer of modular humanoid robotic systems for industrial use, the company announced Monday.
The investment, approximately £740,000, was made through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity, or SAFE. The instrument will convert into equity at Feather’s next qualifying funding round or other liquidity event, at the lower of the round’s valuation or a $60 million valuation cap. The SAFE is unsecured, non-repayable and non-interest bearing.
Feather, incorporated in January 2025, is developing robotic systems designed for real-world industrial deployment rather than research. The company’s modular platform targets mobile and intermittent tasks unsuited to traditional fixed automation. Feather also positions its technology as a general-purpose hardware platform for physical AI developers and integrators.
According to management accounts, Feather reported a loss of approximately $240,000 for the period ended Dec. 31, 2025.
Jim Mellon, non-executive chair of SEED, said the investment reflects the company’s revised focus on applied AI and robotics.
“Given how quickly Feather has moved since formation, including delivering its first customer system and demonstrating practical use, we believe this is the right point at which to be investing,” Mellon said. “The funding will support further development and scaling.”
The investment constitutes a significant transaction under AIM Rule 12 and was funded from SEED’s existing cash resources.
