Antioch

Antioch develops a platform for autonomy teams to simulate and deploy autonomous systems, enabling the building, evaluation, and deployment of robotic and autonomous systems through pure software workflows. The platform natively integrates with existing CI/CD and development workflows, shifting robotics development and validation from physical testing to software simulation. Antioch's technology leverages digital twin modeling to create virtual representations of autonomous systems, allowing teams to test, iterate, and validate robotics behavior in simulated environments before physical deployment. The platform supports the full autonomous systems lifecycle from development through evaluation to deployment, reducing the cost and time associated with physical prototyping and testing. Founded in 2025 and headquartered in New York City, the company has raised approximately $8.5M in seed funding. Antioch differentiates itself through its focus on bridging the simulation-to-deployment gap for autonomy teams, providing development tools that integrate with existing software engineering practices to accelerate robotics validation and deployment cycles.
