## About

Based in the US, Podium Automation, Inc. specializes in the design and manufacture of UL 508A control panels, providing efficient automation solutions across various industries such as manufacturing and energy storage. Podium Automation, Inc. was founded in 2024, located in Brooklyn, US. The company focuses on delivering automated control panel solutions. In June 2026, Podium Automation, Inc. raised USD 18 million in series A funding led by Construct Capital, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Banter Capital, Sunflower Capital, Transition Venture Capital, Dell Technologies Capital, HubSpot Ventures, Archerman Capital, Tribeca Venture Partners, Emergence Capital, Upfront, Scale Venture Partners, Y Combinator and SV Angel. The latest funding round marked their second deal. Podium Automation specializes in the design and manufacture of UL 508A control panels, catering to a variety of industries including industrial manufacturing, automation, energy storage, and transport. Their core offering features a streamlined, automated build process that allows for high-quality control cabinets to be produced with a lead time of less than four weeks. The efficiency is supported by proprietary design software that improves transparency and quality by identifying potential issues early. Podium's clientele ranges from scale-ups to Fortune 500 companies, benefiting from their expertise in ensuring control panels do not become operational bottlenecks. Their products currently serve customers across North America, with plans to expand into new geographical markets as new factories are established. Podium Automation operates within a business-to-business (B2B) framework, focusing on companies that require custom control panel solutions. Their revenue model is centered on project-based transactions, where clients submit a purchase order after receiving a tailored quote. Pricing typically includes a flat design fee that encompasses the full panel layout, electrical schematic, and materials preparation, along with separate costs for panel manufacturing. A 50% down payment is required upon order confirmation, with the remaining balance due upon shipping, facilitating revenue generation through both design services and manufacturing.  

The company will use the June 2026 funding to expand manufacturing capacity, hire engineering and operations staff, and invest in its software platform.
