No valuation has been reported. Founded year 2022 comes from press: Humanoids Daily (2025-04-13) and Mike Kalil's blog (2025-09-15, https://mikekalil.com/blog/usa-humanoid-robotics-race-heats-up/, 'founded in 2022 by Lorenzo Juncaj'); the Michigan corporate registry (cofs.lara.state.mi.us) was unreachable from this machine, so no incorporation filing was checked.",
