Barcelona-based Theker has raised $85M in a Series A round led by CRV, with support from Samsung, LVMH, Cathay Innovation, 20VC and Henkel Ventures.
- Founded in 2022 by Carla Gómez Cano and Francesc Julià, Theker develops AI-enabled industrial robots designed for deployment across manufacturing, logistics, retail, food production, and waste management.
- Its systems combine computer vision, sensors, and machine learning models to interpret complex environments, recognise objects in real time, and execute physical operations that typically require manual labour.
- Rather than relying on fixed-purpose automation, the platform is built for adaptability, allowing machines to be reconfigured across different workflows and operational contexts through software.
- A continuous learning layer updates performance in deployment, enabling the robots to function in dynamic and unstructured settings where conditions frequently change.
- The company operates a robot-as-a-service model, integrating hardware directly into customer sites while refining capabilities through ongoing software and AI improvements.
Details of the deal
- The latest funding will support wider deployment, further development of its robotics stack, and team expansion as it moves from early industrial adoption toward scaled commercial rollout.
