YOU’RE DOING JUST FINE.jpg

Dear Investors, 

Arcadian is excited and honored to share an extraordinary opportunity, in partnership with Align Ventures, to participate in the Series C financing for Figure AI, one of the world’s leading AI-driven robotics companies. Figure is transforming the $30 trillion global labor market by pioneering humanoid robotics – the next frontier of AI. Humanoids present a significantly better market opportunity as compared to either LLMs or Robotaxis. 

 

In just three years, Figure has emerged as the most formidable competitor to Tesla's Optimus humanoid, which Morgan Stanley currently values at approximately $351 billion. Elon Musk has stated that Optimus could propel Tesla’s market cap from $1 trillion to $25 trillion, calling humanoids potentially “the biggest product ever.” 

The physical world is built for humans, and the next evolution of AI will take shape in human-like forms, seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence into the real world. 

While ChatGPT is reshaping how we work, humanoid robots are set to revolutionize who does the work. This transformation will be driven by Figure’s proprietary 'Visual Language Action' (VLA) models — the equivalent of LLMs for AI operating in the physical world. Figure AI is at the forefront of this revolution with its cutting-edge Helix VLA

Figure AI has achieved significant breakthroughs in both robotics hardware and proprietary neural network software, securing commercial traction with Fortune 100 customers and projecting $9 billion ARR from its first two customers alone. Figure AI is also well positioned to secure a data & software moat – similar to Google search or Android – which will give Figure an important advantage over its competitors. 

Unlike Optimus, which is just one segment of Tesla’s ~$1 trillion valuation, Figure AI offers investors a pure-play opportunity to capitalize on the transformative potential of humanoid robotics with a market leader. 

Arcadian’s partner, Align Ventures, previously invested $105 million in Figure’s $675 million Series B round at a $2.575 billion valuation alongside Microsoft, OpenAI, Nvidia, Samsung, Intel, and Jeff Bezos. Align occupies a seat on the company’s Board of Directors and has a close relationship with its founder and CEO, Brett Adcock. Align has been granted an exclusive allocation in the Series C round alongside one other venture group, with preferential terms such as Major Investor Rights, Pro Rata Rights, and more. 

In the diligence material below, you will see why we believe Figure AI’s $38B entry point is defensible with significant downside protection (1x return down to ~$2.3B valuation) and why we believe Figure AI is uniquely positioned to be one of the likely trillion-dollar humanoid companies. 

We have already received significant demand for this Series C and will accommodate investors on a first-come, first-served basis.
