DeepReach Inc. (YC S26) — Real-world data network for robots & world models
Physical AI — robots and world models — is bottlenecked on one thing: diverse, real-world data at massive scale showing how humans actually do work in the physical world. It was never written down, and you can't buy it, because no one has ever captured it.

Physical AI — robots and world models — is bottlenecked on one thing: diverse,
real-world data at massive scale showing how humans actually do work in the
physical world. It was never written down, and you can't buy it, because no one
has ever captured it. Only real local experts, the people who do this work every
day, can produce data this authentic and valuable.
DeepReach builds the network that reaches them. We design and manufacture
wearable stereo capture devices, then place them with local data partners who
run collection as their own business — in warehouses, workshops, farms, kitchens
and repair shops. They own the local relationships; we supply the hardware, the
software platform, the quality pipeline and the payments. Anyone can run a data
business.
That structure is what produces diversity. Instead of thousands of hours inside
one environment, we deliver hours spread across thousands of environments —
which is what actually makes robot policies generalize.
475 devices in the field and 100+ data partners are live across 7 countries, adding new
partners every week. They've collected nearly 150,000 clips in the past three
months, with volume roughly doubling month over month. Our data is in production
with multiple frontier model and robotics companies, and we're scaling to
10,000+ devices across 50 countries.

Is this you?
If you're behind DeepReach Inc.: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
