Kyber Raises $5M Seed
Kyber, a Paris-based startup building the protocol layer that connects operators and AI agents to physical machines in real-time, has announced a $5 million seed round. The company is developing infrastructure to synchronize video, audio, sensor data, and control inputs across distributed locations for robotics, drones, and remote IT access.
Investors
The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.
Kyber Use of Funds
Kyber plans to use the capital to scale its productized enterprise version and continue development of its protocol layer for real-time control of physical AI fleets.
About Kyber
The company was founded by Jean-Baptiste Kempf, the lead developer of VLC Media Player. Kyber provides a generalized infrastructure layer designed to solve latency and synchronization challenges for robotics, drones, and remote operations, moving away from the bespoke systems currently used by incumbents.
