General Catalyst and JPMorganChase’s Strategic Investment Group led the round, which Re:Build says will fund more manufacturing capacity and new industrial companies.
Massachusetts-based Re:Build said on October 27, 2026, that it had raised $2.1 billion, with General Catalyst and JPMorganChase’s Strategic Investment Group leading the investment. TechCrunch covered the announcement. Other investors were not disclosed.
Founded in 2020 by Jeff Wilke and Miles Arnone, Re:Build combines manufacturing work for industrial customers with developing startups of its own. The new funding is intended to expand both parts of that business.
Re:Build partners with industrial companies to design, engineer and manufacture products at scale. General Catalyst describes its customers as spanning aerospace and defence, automotive, healthcare and clean technology. Re:Build also helps develop startups in markets it describes as critical and underserved.
The company says its existing US network employs more than 2,100 people and has more than 2.4 million square feet of manufacturing capacity. It has also launched hundreds of products and production systems during its six years in business.
Wilke previously led Amazon’s consumer business, while Arnone led machine-tool companies and managed manufacturing-focused private-equity firms, General Catalyst says. The two conceived electric-vehicle startup Slate Auto in 2022. Re:Build spun it out in 2023 to help it attract more capital.
Slate has since raised at least $1.4 billion separately to develop a low-cost pickup truck that customers can customise. Its fundraising illustrates how a business developed within Re:Build can go on to seek its own financing.
