Waku Robotics receives 1.5 million euros
The start-up wants to use its software to improve the efficiency of robots in logistics. Now investors are getting on board.
The start-up Waku Robotics has raised 1.5 million euros in its seed financing round. Schauenburg Ventures, Plug and Play and the London-based proptech VC Pi Labs are investing in the company. Agilox founders Franz Humer and Hans-Jürgen Cramer are also participating in the round. Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen (TGFS) and Bito Campus are also investing.
"Robots will be the workforce of the future in logistics," says Victor Splittgerber, CEO and founder of Waku Robotics. He founded the company in 2019 together with Sander Nijssen. The founders developed the software solution "Waku Sense", which is designed to control and analyze mobile robots to ensure the smooth operation of robot fleets. The solution is manufacturer-independent so that robots from different providers can work together. The start-up's target group is logistics and e-commerce companies.
"Waku Robotics combines a much-needed solution to drive automation across industries with a great team of dedicated and experienced entrepreneurs," says Malvine Komorek, Investment Manager at Schauenburg International GmbH.
