DBR77 Robotics Closes Seed Investment Round – Launching GO GLOBAL Strategy!

DBR77 Robotics has successfully closed its Seed investment round, with the formal settlement completed on April 17, 2025. In this round, four renowned investment institutions decided to back the company with capital to support its international expansion and technological development.

The round was led by ff Venture Capital (ffVC), a strategic partner that strengthens DBR77’s position thanks to its global network, proven track record in scaling startups, and deep expertise in AI and automation. ffVC is an international venture capital fund with offices in New York and Warsaw, specializing in early-stage investments across sectors such as artificial intelligence, robotics, manufacturing, security, and energy. The firm recently announced a new €60 million fund focused on Central and Eastern European startups, including those in Poland, Germany, and Austria.

Other investors who joined the Seed round include:

• NCBR Investment Fund ASI S.A. (NIF) – a co-investment VC fund owned by the National Centre for Research and Development, focusing on high-growth SMEs commercializing R&D outcomes.
• RKK-Investment – a fund controlled by Roman Karkosik, one of Poland’s most prominent stock market investors, with significant holdings in listed companies like Boryszew S.A. and Alchemia S.A.
• KIROI – a fund backed by German industrial investors, specializing in innovative industrial technologies and AI-powered solutions.

In addition, existing investors EEC, Level 2, and SQD Alliance reaffirmed their financial and strategic commitment to DBR77’s growth.

“At NIF, we believe that supporting the right solutions allows us to shape the future. We invest in those who dare to innovate, invest in R&D, and boldly strive to change the world. DBR77 is a clear example that technological advantage is achievable — and worth pursuing relentlessly,” said Marcin Syposz, Board Member at NCBR Investment Fund.

Seed Round Objective: Executing the GO GLOBAL Strategy

The raised capital will be allocated to the execution of DBR77’s GO GLOBAL strategy, focused on dynamic expansion into Western European and U.S. markets. A key part of the plan is the development of AI-based capabilities – including advanced data analytics, integration with IoT systems, and further deployment and commercialization of DBR77’s Digital Twin, the core of its intelligent production and logistics management offering.

“I am confident that DBR77’s solutions will resonate with customers worldwide. The platform brings together all essential functions in a single, integrated environment — exactly what the modern industrial client expects,” said Pawel Materniak, Investment Director,  NCBR Investment Fund.
