About DeepReach Inc.
Physical AI — robots and world models — is bottlenecked on one thing: diverse, real-world data at massive scale showing how humans actually do work in the physical world. It was never written down, and you can't buy it, because no one has ever captured it. Only real local experts, the people who do this work every day, can produce data this authentic and valuable. DeepReach builds the network that reaches them. We design and manufacture wearable stereo capture devices, then place them with local data partners who run collection as their own business — in warehouses, workshops, farms, kitchens and repair shops. They own the local relationships; we supply the hardware, the software platform, the quality pipeline and the payments. Anyone can run a data business. That structure is what produces diversity. Instead of thousands of hours inside one environment, we deliver hours spread across thousands of environments — which is what actually makes robot policies generalize. 475 devices in the field and 100+ data partners are live across 7 countries, adding new partners every week. They've collected nearly 150,000 clips in the past three months, with volume roughly doubling month over month. Our data is in production with multiple frontier model and robotics companies, and we're scaling to 10,000+ devices across 50 countries.
