Barcelona robotics startup THEKER has raised $85M in what it says is Europe’s largest robotics Series A.
The round marks three simultaneous firsts: CRV’s first Spanish investment, Samsung’s first bet on a Spanish company, and LVMH’s first entry into the Spanish startup ecosystem.
THEKER’s robots are already running inside live Inditex production facilities — a distinction the company says very few robotics companies globally have achieved.
Carla Gómez Cano, co-founder at THEKER, Barcelona-based industrial robotics company, wasn’t planning to raise.
“Part of a founder’s job is that when people of this calibre knock on the door, you take the meeting. That’s how most of these conversations started,” she tells Tech Funding News.
