DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ROBO Global has launched its first venture capital fund, focused on investing in early-stage disruptive technology companies that align with the firm’s mission of helping investors capitalize on the robotics, AI and healthcare technology revolution.
Leveraging ROBO Global’s 50+ years of collective industry experience, as well as the firm’s unique research capabilities and esteemed technical advisors, the fund is designed to give accredited investors access to transformative companies across the world.
“We are intimately familiar with the innovation and disruption in robotics, AI and healthcare technology through our everyday work researching and vetting companies in the public equity market,” said Travis Briggs, CEO of ROBO Global, U.S. “Entering the private market is a natural extension for us, and we are eager to bring this opportunity to investors.”
ROBO Global is researching promising start-ups transforming the world’s largest industries with the goal of partnering with founders building novel technologies in warehouse automation, transportation and healthcare as areas of focus.
“The technological changes happening today are creating massive opportunities for investment, and the untapped potential in the private space is vast,” said Lisa Chai, Partner at ROBO Global Ventures, who is spearheading this endeavor. “ROBO Global was the first to bring a robotics-focused strategy to market and our access to the academic and corporate leaders across the globe of disruptive technology is unparalleled.”
Recent investment participation includes co-leading a Series A in SLAMcore, a spatial intelligence robotics provider. SLAMcore’s solutions enable robots the ability to map its world and understand where it is. This capability has unlimited potential in its reach in the smart mobility era. Other participations include RecoverX, the first evidence-based digital healthcare provider using AI to transform medical diagnosis, and Vaidio, a cloud-native and enterprise-grade AI vision analytics provider for the security, safety and access control markets.
