Forbes valued David Reger's stake of nearly 20% in Neura Robotics at about $1.5 billion in October 2026. Reger is the founder and CEO. Neura raised a Series C of up to $1.4 billion in June 2026, with Tether as lead investor.
Reger was born in 1988 and grew up near Rottweil. He did a three-and-a-half-year apprenticeship as a mold maker and did not go to university. At 21 he moved to San Francisco and worked about a year and a half with homeless people. In 2011 he joined Mabi and began working in robotics.
In 2018 he pitched the Mabi board on robots that learn tasks and share them through one software platform. On 26 March 2019 he founded Han's Robot Germany GmbH, with a Chinese partner holding 70%. The company was renamed Neura in November 2020. In June 2023 he bought out the Chinese stake for $11 million, and Neura raised $55 million that summer.
Neura raised €120 million in a Series B in January 2025 and bought B.A.H. Industrial Solutions, ek robotics and a development unit from Huber Automotive that year. In January 2026 it announced a humanoid partnership with Bosch. The Series C of June 2026 included Nvidia, Amazon, Qualcomm, Bosch, Schaeffler and the European Investment Bank.
