Jake Loosararian’s Gecko Robotics reaches unicorn status

Gecko Robotics has officially achieved unicorn status after raising $125 million in a Series D round, bringing its valuation to $1.25 billion.

The company, founded by Jake Loosararian, specializes in AI-powered robotic monitoring of critical infrastructure, serving industries like energy, manufacturing, and defense, including the US Navy and major oil and gas companies.

Loosararian noted that Gecko Robotics started as a college dorm room project and has now become a key player in public infrastructure safety, industrial optimization, and military modernization.

“Gecko was built out of my college dorm room, to what it is today — the company ensuring the safety of public infrastructure, the optimization of energy and manufacturing facilities, and the modernization of militaries to deter global conflict,” he said.
