Qualcomm Ventures is the corporate venture arm of Qualcomm Incorporated, and it enters this map as the named corporate investor participating in Figure AI's Series C — distinct from a direct-corporate holding attributed to Qualcomm itself. The parent link on this node points to the existing Qualcomm company record. The arm's own portfolio supplies a second source for its relationship with Figure. The research map records an attributed financing relationship, not a complete portfolio or a live ownership register. A named corporate investor reveals which platform-adjacent capital networks have supported a mapped company, but that relationship alone does not establish ownership percentage, investment amount, board rights, or influence over product decisions. Qualcomm Ventures is most useful here as a signal that the mobile-compute platform's venture arm is backing humanoid robotics — a flagship Physical AI category — through a mapped company. Coverage grows only through verified, sourced direct relationships. Founded in 2000 in San Diego, Qualcomm Ventures is the two-decade corporate venture arm of the mobile-compute platform, and its participation in Figure AI signals platform-adjacent capital validating humanoid robotics.
