We look at robotics as picks and shovels. We want to sell to robot builders, not build the robot. The components, subsystems and tooling that every robot company buys fit our check and our taste for capital-efficient hardware.

To be plain: we do not have a robotics company in our portfolio yet. This is a sector we look at and have been meeting founders in. We write $100,000 to $500,000 pre-seed and seed checks and typically co-invest alongside a lead.

• Actuators, motors and the drivetrain components that robots are built from.

• Perception, mapping and the sensors that let robots see and locate.

• Sim-to-real tooling, robot-learning stacks, and data and simulation for robotics.

• Grippers, end-effectors and tactile sensing.

• Additive manufacturing, CNC tooling and components that robot builders depend on.

We tend to pass on full humanoid or robot platforms that need enormous capital, and on crowded me-too autonomy.

Building robotics components, tooling or subsystems? We want to see it. Pitch us directly, no warm intro needed, at daxos.capital/apply. If there is interest, you hear back within 72 hours. See the full list of what we invest in.
