Mytra is a US warehouse robotics company building what it calls a 3D operating system for the supply chain. Rather than retrofitting conventional shelving and conveyors, Mytra's system uses a lattice of robotic modules that move payloads vertically and horizontally through a dense storage structure, retrieving any item on demand. The approach is engineered to deliver high storage density and high throughput simultaneously, a combination that traditional automated storage and retrieval systems have struggled to achieve. The company positions the product as infrastructure that adapts to changing inventory profiles instead of locking operators into rigid, purpose-built layouts.
The company was founded in 2022 by Chris Walti, the former head of Tesla's Optimus humanoid program, and Ahmad Baitalmal, who previously led factory software development at Tesla and Rivian. That manufacturing and robotics pedigree informs Mytra's emphasis on reliability, serviceability, and software-defined coordination of large robot fleets. The system is built to handle heavy, palletized, and irregular goods that many lightweight warehouse robots cannot, broadening the range of industries it can serve.
Mytra's software layer is central to its value proposition. The operating system continuously plans robot movements, balances loads across the lattice, and exposes inventory and throughput data to warehouse management systems. By treating storage as a dynamic, addressable three-dimensional space, the platform aims to cut the wasted aisle space and travel time inherent in human-operated or partially automated facilities.
The company raised a $120 million Series C in January 2026 led by Avenir Growth, bringing total funding to more than $200 million and reaching unicorn status. Investors include Eclipse, Greenoaks, Abstract Ventures, Promus Ventures, Kivu Ventures, Liquid 2, D. E. Shaw, and Offline Ventures. Headquartered in Brisbane, California, Mytra is scaling deployments with large enterprise customers across logistics, manufacturing, and grocery.
