The SpaceX spinoff specializes in tunnel boring machines. These machines are designed to dig underground routes at a lower cost than traditional construction methods.
In 2022, The Boring Company completed a $675 million funding round. That investment raised the company’s valuation to about $5.7 billion at the time.
Notable investors in the earlier round included Vy Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Founders Fund. These firms backed the company’s ambitious infrastructure vision.
