At Sereact, we are on a mission to redefine what’s possible with AI-driven robotics. Today marks a major milestone in our journey as we secure €25 million in Series A funding. The Series A round was led by Creandum, alongside significant participation from existing investors Point Nine and Air Street Capital, and prominent business angels, including former Formula 1 World Champion Nico Rosberg, Mehdi Ghissassi (ex Google DeepMind), Ott Kaukver (Skype), Lars Nordwall (ex neo4j), Rubin Ritter (ex Zalando), Torsten Reil and Niklas Köhler (both Helsing).

This funding is more than just an investment in our technology – it’s a testament to the immense potential of AI in robotics and the trust that industry leaders have in our vision.

Transforming robotics with AI

Since our founding in 2021, Sereact has been at the forefront of developing hardware-agnostic AI models that bring automation to warehousing, logistics, and beyond. Our groundbreaking Vision Language Action Models (VLAM) empower robots to understand and adapt to their environments in real-time – without the need for complex programming.

“With our technology, robots act situationally rather than following rigidly programmed sequences. They adapt to dynamic tasks in real-time, enabling an unprecedented level of autonomy,” said Ralf Gulde, CEO and co-founder of Sereact.

Our AI-powered robots are already making an impact across industries, with customers including Daimler Truck, Bol, MS Direct and Active Ants. By operating in real-world environments, our systems continuously improve, learning far beyond what synthetic training data alone can achieve.

Why this matters

The robotics industry is undergoing a fundamental shift. While most AI robotics companies focus on hardware-first solutions, Sereact is leading with a software-first approach, enabling robots to function as intelligent, adaptable agents rather than pre-programmed machines. This flexibility is what sets us apart and drives our vision to make embodied AI the standard for robotics across industries.

As Johan Brenner, General Partner at Creandum, put it: "The opportunities here are endless, and it’s great to see this kind of innovation coming from Europe."

What’s Next?

This funding will allow us to accelerate our mission in several key areas:

  • Expanding R&D efforts to support additional robotic platforms, including mobile robots and humanoids.
  • Developing AI solutions for more complex tasks beyond logistics and manufacturing.
  • Expanding our U.S. presence, building strategic partnerships, and growing our local team.

"We’re on an exciting journey to become the leading platform for robotics applications that forever changes the daily lives of people and businesses," says Gulde. "This oversubscribed round and our rapid technology progress enables us to democratize robotics and set new standards for autonomous systems in global markets."

Looking Ahead

Our journey is just beginning. With this latest investment, we are more committed than ever to shaping the future of robotics, setting new standards for autonomy, efficiency, and intelligence on a global scale.

To our investors, customers, and partners – thank you for your trust and belief in our vision. The road ahead is full of possibilities, and we can’t wait to continue this journey together.
