Your industry needs a robot. Let's build the company.
You know the job, what it costs you, and that every company in your sector has the same problem. We bring the robot, the path to CE certification and an entrepreneur, and co-found a company that sells it across your industry. You're the first customer and a shareholder.
Why co-found
Physical AI is ready. Building a robot company alone still isn't easy.
Build it in-house
Hiring a robotics team, an autonomy stack and a certification track takes years, outside your core business.
Buy from a start-up
You wait for them to find your market, and the product is not built for your operations.
Hire an engineering firm
You pay for a prototype and own a project. Not a company that sells, services and improves it for the next ten years.
Co-found with Exobotic
A company that solves your problem on a proven core, sells to your whole industry, and pays you back as a shareholder.
Not looking to co-found but are convinced about your business case. Let's have a look at it and see how we can help.
Ventures
Ventures we've co-founded.
Each has its own brand, team and website, led by an entrepreneur. All of them started on the Exobotic core.
Autonomous 4×4 working robot for farms and yards.
Sprays, hauls, pulls and mows on a schedule. Agriculture, municipal grounds, logistics and construction yards.
oxone.ai →
The system of record for tree nurseries.
QR labels, live inventory, mobile measurement, ERP sync and plant passports, born from our nursery robotics work.
arboto.eu →Construction, logistics, recycling, energy, public works…
We're selecting the next industry partner. If a costly, repetitive job holds your whole sector back, tell us about the business case.
Submit your business case →Our path
Built the core. Launched two ventures. Next, with industry.
-
01 · SINCE 2014
Build the core
Self-funded R&D on outdoor autonomy, perception and robot platforms for difficult environments, tested in real fields and yards.
-
02 · TWO VENTURES
Launch ventures
oxone and Arboto: each with its own brand and an outside entrepreneur at the helm, built on the Exobotic core.
-
03 · NOW
Co-found with industry
The same playbook, now with an industry partner who brings the business case, the first order and co-investment from day one.
How it works
From business case to company in four stages.
-
01 · WEEKS
Validate
We test your business case together: cost of the job, unit economics, the market beyond your company, the certification path. Fixed fee, credited towards your stake if we co-found.
-
02 · MONTHS
Prove the concept
We build on existing platforms and run a paid pilot in your operations generating real numbers.
-
03 · LAUNCH
Co-found
A new venture with its own brand and CEO, owning the application-specific IP with you as a shareholder; your launch order is its first revenue. The Exobotic core is licensed in.
-
04 · GROWTH
Scale
The venture sells across your industry, investors join, and you hold a right of first refusal to buy the venture.
Is your business case a fit?
We co-found when four things are true.
You know the cost
A repetitive job that costs you real money every year, and people are hard to find for it.
It's not just you
Hundreds of companies in your sector, or beyond it, have the same job.
You'd buy it
You're ready to be the first customer, and to invest once the pilot works.
It's buildable
Proven and reliable technologies apply, fast to validate on existing platforms, with a clear path to production.
Not looking to co-found but are convinced about your business case. Let's have a look at it and see how we can help.
What every venture gets on day one
Not just code. A company kit for robots that work outside.
Software gets faster to write every year. Safe, certified machines that run a full shift in rain and mud, with people to service them, do not. That is what we bring to every venture.
Build with us
Every venture needs three seats filled.
Own part of the solution to your problem.
- Validated and piloted in your own operations
- First customer, shaping the product
- Shareholder in a company that sells it across your industry
- Right of first refusal if it is ever sold
- No robotics department to build
"Won't my competitors buy it too?" Yes. And they'll buy it from a company you co-own, built around your operations, with you served first.
