Developing: it holds up against its sources so far, and firms up as more reporting lands.
Sources agree that ForgeAI announced an angel round on September 21, 2026 and identify TusStar/TUS Star Ventures as a participating backer, not a lead.

ForgeAI builds a cloud-native general-purpose brain and reusable skills so robots can understand the physical world, learn continuously, and transfer capabilities across different robot bodies.
ForgeAI is tackling a central embodied-AI bottleneck: robot skills and training data often fail to transfer when the robot body, gripper, or environment changes, raising data and deployment costs. Its early commercial signal is a reported tens-of-millions-of-yuan angel round, nearly 10 million yuan in pre-orders, and partnerships for cleaning and hotel-delivery use cases, while its larger bet is a reusable skill operating system and infrastructure layer for many robot embodiments.
