Theker Raises $85 Mn in Series A Round led by CRV

The round was led by US venture capital firm CRV, with participation from big global investors including Samsung, LVMH, Cathay Innovation, 20VC, and Henkel Ventures.

Existing investors Inditex and Kibo Ventures also added more money in this round.

This new funding comes less than a year after Theker, founded in 2022, had already raised €18 million in its seed round.

Carla Gómez Cano, co-founder of Theker, said: “This round accelerates a vision we’ve been building toward from day one: making intelligent, adaptable robotics practical for real industrial operations at global scale."

Founded by robotics and AI engineers Carla Gómez Cano and Jiaqiang Ye Zhu, THEKER is working on a new type of industrial robot powered by AI.

These robots are designed to be flexible and adaptable, meaning they can quickly adjust to different tasks, changing environments, and products—even if the shapes or sizes are irregular—without needing manual reprogramming.

Unlike traditional industrial robots, which are usually fixed for one specific job and are expensive and slow to modify, THEKER’s robots can be set up in just a few days and keep learning while working in real factories.

The company says its robots are already being used in real production sites across Europe. They are built to help factories and warehouses work faster, reduce downtime, and deal with ongoing worker shortages in manufacturing, logistics, and retail.
