CubeNexus Secures $650K Pre-Seed to Power 4D Data Structuring for Applications in AI and Autonomous Operations
TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CubeNexus, a Techstars-backed spatial data intelligence company, today announced a $650,000 pre-seed raise. The company's software structures complex sensor data for AI-based applications. The round was led by 46 VC with participation from TitletownTech. "CubeNexus is not just a novel system. It's the missing substrate for AI systems to become reliable and deterministic, creating universal interactions from any dataset to another dataset." ~ Adam Gobbo, Co-Founder, CubeNexus Founded by CEO Steven Brandt and CTO Adam Gobbo, CubeNexus builds AI-powered infrastructure helping machines and operators understand and interact with the 3D, spatiotemporal world. Brandt, a former U.S. Air Force contracting officer, brings experience in federal contracts and scaling global tech ventures. Gobbo, a former USMC infantryman and F-16 pilot turned technologist, leads development of the company's spatial analysis engine. The raise follows CubeNexus' completion of Techstars Build in Tulsa and Energy Innovation Capital-backed accelerator Rose Rock Bridge. It supports development of its flagship software— the CubeNexus Decision Intelligence Suite which structures massive sensor data sets. Users, from data analysts to operations engineers, can query the multi-modal sensor data using a variety of LLMs and visualize the data through digital twin interfaces. This allows users to accurately investigate surface, subsurface, and aerial data for advanced insights— in one place, in 4D. "CubeNexus is not just a novel system," said Gobbo. "It's the missing substrate for AI systems to become reliable and deterministic, creating universal interactions from any dataset to another dataset." CubeNexus is also testing its all-sensor navigation system, designed for GPS-independent 3D positioning through proprietary spatial analysis. These tests are in collaboration with Skyway 36 and the Choctaw Nation to support advanced air mobility applications. Tracy Poole, Managing Partner at 46VC, noted, 'We are excited to back the CubeNexus team as they continue to develop their technology suite. Their unique approach to handling geospatial data is top shelf and has far-ranging applications.' CubeNexus will use the funding to grow its technical team, expand integrations, and drive adoption across sectors such as energy, aviation, and defense—industries that rely on timely, scalable sensor data insights. According to Devon Fanfair, Techstars Managing Director, "They've architected a new spatial infrastructure layer that's redefining how the digital and physical worlds interact — changing the way entire industries operate." With momentum from this raise and support from industry partners, CubeNexus is focused on delivering scalable spatial intelligence to the industries that need it most.
