Sound Media Ventures led the firm’s “seed plus” round. Other investors included VC funds for Amazon and Hanwha, as well as returning Canadian backers BDC Capital and Two Small Fish. Haply will use the new money to hire and expand its manufacturing capabilities. (BetaKit)
Talking point: Haply makes touch-based systems that let users control robots, interact with VR and simulation environments for training, and create finer digital designs. The firm is betting that machines manipulated in more precise ways by humans’ sense of contact will pick up how to feel their way through the physical world. Haply previously raised a US$3.5-million seed round in March 2022 led by BDC Capital’s Deep Tech Venture Fund, which has since been shrunk. Haply is one of a number of venture-backed robotics firms in Quebec, including Montreal’s Vention, which raised US$110 million last month, Boisbriand-based Kinova, and Robotiq in Levis.
