Breaking: Robco's $100M Series C with CEO Roman
The show breaks the news of Robco's $100M Series C co-led by Lightspeed alongside Sequoia, Greenfield, Kindred Capital, Leitmotif and the Freedkin Group, then welcomes Munich-based co-founder and CEO Roman. Roman explains the autonomous manufacturing platform (~500 deployed solutions across enterprise and mid-market), the round's three pillars (Robco Autonomy/physical AI investment, US expansion after acquiring a US company, and an enterprise push to 85% of revenue), and the Nvidia/AWS physical AI fellowship. He recounts the TUM spinoff founding story, the modular hardware plus software platform approach, and the mismatch of two-week software sprints versus six-week hardware cycles, before the hosts sign off for the week.
