This is what happened with Anki, which started its work in the field of artificial intelligence in the production of robots in 2010. During nearly a decade, the company succeeded in securing 5 investment rounds worth $182 million. In 2019, the company's CEO, Boris Sofman, announced that the company was unable to secure a new round, after the deal was disrupted at the last minute, as he described it, with the end result being the closure of the company.
