  • Energy Robotics

    Led · Series A · Oct 2025

    Headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, Energy Robotics offers a full-stack, hardware-agnostic operating system that integrates with eight leading robot and drone manufacturers to automate visual inspections, thermal scans, and leak detection in energy, chemical, industrial, and utility facilities. The platform’s AI analytics library interprets multimodal sensor data, an LLM-driven mission control generates and executes inspection tasks, and each mission updates an evergreen digital twin that feeds directly into customer workflows. To date, the company has logged more than one million inspections across five continents for clients such as Shell, BP, Repsol, BASF, Merck, and E.ON, saving over 32,000 hours of hazardous human labor and cutting operating costs by up to 40%. Its emphasis on data privacy keeps sensitive inspection data within customer-controlled IT systems, while early gas-leak detection contributes to emissions reduction. Energy Robotics targets the growing need for safer, more efficient maintenance of aging industrial assets amid a shrinking skilled workforce. The new capital will be used to scale commercial deployment across energy, chemicals, industrial, and security sectors.

  • ANYbotics

    Led · Equity · Sep 2025

    Founded in 2016 in Zürich, ANYbotics develops the ANYmal family of quadruped robots designed for autonomous industrial inspections across oil & gas, mining, power generation and other complex facilities.
