Noetive Raises $41M for Self-Improving Factory AI

Industrial AI startup Noetive launched with $41 million in seed funding to bring self-improving AI to factories, logistics, energy and data centers. Its core technology, described as a brain, learns from each deployment and works alongside existing tools to handle complex operational decisions across materials, machinery, labor and suppliers. Founded by former Meta vice president Amir Frenkel and incubated inside Eclipse Ventures, Noetive already counts food manufacturer Steuben Foods among its design partners. Steuben reports that production planning tasks once taking a week now complete in minutes. Eclipse led the funding round, with additional backing from Craft Ventures, The Westly Group and others.
