Sereact raises $110M for predictive robotics
- Stuttgart-based Sereact said Monday it raised a $110 million Series B led by Headline to expand its robotics software and open a Boston office. - Sereact says more than 200 systems using its software have completed over 1 billion picks, with human help needed roughly once every 53,000 picks. - The round follows Sereact’s €25 million Series A in January 2025 and pushes total funding past $140 million.

Sereact, a robotics software startup from Stuttgart, said Monday it raised a $110 million Series B to scale its Cortex 2.0 platform and expand into the United States. (sereact.ai) (bloomberg.com) Headline led the round, with Bullhound Capital, Daphni and Felix Capital joining as new investors. Air Street Capital, Creandum and Point Nine also invested again. (sereact.ai) (tech.eu) The company said the money will fund two priorities: scaling Cortex 2.0, its latest “robot brain,” and opening its first U.S. office in Boston for commercial, engineering and application teams. (sereact.ai) (therobotreport.com) Sereact sells software for industrial robots in warehouses and factories. Its pitch is that one model can help robots handle unfamiliar objects and tasks instead of relying on a separate hard-coded workflow for each site. (bloomberg.com) (siliconangle.com) The company says Cortex 2.0 is trained to predict the consequences of an action before a robot moves, a step meant to reduce failed grabs and make systems more adaptable. Sereact calls that approach a world model for robotics. (thenextweb.com) (roboticsandautomationnews.com) Sereact said its software is already running on more than 200 systems across Europe and has logged more than 1 billion picks. It said only about one in 53,000 picks now needs human intervention. (sereact.ai) (techstory.in) The company was founded in 2021 as a spinout from the University of Stuttgart. It raised €25 million in a Series A led by Creandum in January 2025, making this round a sharp step-up in size 15 months later. (startup.eu) (tech.eu) Sereact has said customers include BMW, Daimler Truck, Bol and Active Ants. The company is trying to move beyond bin-picking into assembly, kitting and other warehouse and factory jobs. (sereact.ai) (therobotreport.com) The bet from investors is that robotics companies can sell the intelligence layer across many machines, not just one custom installation at a time. Sereact’s next test is whether that software can keep working as it adds U.S. customers and more complex tasks. (bloomberg.com) (sereact.ai)
