The start-up wants to improve the efficiency of robots in logistics with its software. Now investors are getting on board.

The start-up Waku Robotics was able to raise 1.5 million euros in its seed financing round. In the process, Schauenburg Ventures, Plug and Play and London-based proptech VC Pi Labs are investing in the company. Agilox founder Franz Humer and Hans-Jürgen Cramer are also participating in the round. In addition, Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen (TGFS) and Bito Campus are investing.

"Robots are becoming the workforce of the future in logistics," says Victor Splittgerber, CEO and founder of Waku Robotics. He co-founded the company in 2019 with Sander Nijssen. The founders developed the software solution "Waku Sense" to control and analyze mobile robots to ensure smooth operation of robot fleets. They say the solution is vendor-independent, so robots from different vendors can work together. The startup's target audience 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," said Malvine Komorek, investment manager at Schauenburg International GmbH.
