Point One Navigation raises $35M in Series C funding round

High-precision location technology provider Point One Navigation announced a $35 million Series C oversubscribed funding round led by Khosla Ventures, with participation from existing investors including IA Ventures, UP Partners and Alumni Ventures.

Poine One said that the capital will support further infrastructure expansion, software innovation and OEM integration, alongside team growth in R&D, engineering, customer success and international operations.

From self-driving cars and trucks, to delivery robots and precision agriculture, Point One said that the rise of physical AI - machines that understand and interact with the real world - depends on reliable, high-accuracy location.

Platform behind precise location

Historically, Point One Navigation said that precision required complex system integration, specialized expertise and heavy custom development.

“For years, enabling Physical AI through precision location has been a powerful concept but painfully complex to implement in the real world,” said Aaron Nathan, co-founder and CEO of Point One Navigation. “By combining dense, centralized infrastructure, intelligent software and a developer-first API, we’re giving every OEM the spatial awareness to bring their platforms to life. This funding accelerates our mission to make precise location as universal as GPS itself.”

Point One Navigation said it is the first provider to deliver centimeter-level location services in a singular platform by combining three core technologies:

• The Polaris RTK Network: A densely deployed and professionally managed infrastructure providing high-quality GNSS corrections data
• The Location Cloud: Unifies corrections, telemetry and device management through a single GraphQL API
• The Positioning Engine: Software that fuses satellite, sensor and motion data in real time to determine a device’s exact position with centimeter-level accuracy

Together, the company said its platform - from satellite to software - enables precise location for Physical AI in minutes, not months. 

“Physical AI requires knowing exactly where you are down to the centimeter,” said Kanu Gulati, partner at Khosla Ventures and a board member of Point One Navigation. “Point One makes this level of accuracy accessible to any developer, from powering autonomous vehicles and drones to warehouse robots and emergency response. We’re excited to continue backing the team as they become the default location layer for the next generation of AI in the physical world.”
