Autonomous Robotic Startup RobCo $100M in Fresh Series C Funding

Munich-based RobCo recently secured $100 million in Series C funding to scale up its enterprise industrial robotics solutions and expand its market presence in the U.S. and Europe.  

Including the latest Series C round, RobCo has raised $160+ million in funding to date, according to the latest funding data from Startup Funding News. The company previously raised over $60 million, including a $43 million Series B in early 2024. 

RobCo is a Munich-based company, founded in 2020 by a team from the Technical University of Munich, specializing in AI-driven, modular robotics for industrial automation, particularly for small and mid-sized enterprises.

Lightspeed Venture Partners (who also led the company’s Series B round) and Lingotto Innovation (an investment arm of the Agnelli family’s Exor) co-led the investment round with participation from high-profile venture capital firms like Sequoia Capital and Kindred Capital, alongside strategic and industrial-focused backers like Greenfield Partners, Leitmotif (a venture firm focusing on decarbonization), and The Friedkin Group.

RobCo, a Munich-based robotics leader, specializes in developing autonomous industrial robotics designed to perform complex tasks in real-world manufacturing environments with high flexibility.

With newly raised funds, RobCo plans to further expand its footprint across Europe and the U.S. In September 2025, RobCo officially launched its U.S. operations, marking its entry into the North American market through a combination of strategic acquisitions and infrastructure development.

RobCo last year significantly accelerated its U.S. entry by absorbing the assets of Rapid Robotics, a San Francisco-based firm specializing in AI-powered end-of-arm tooling.
