About
Bleu Robotics builds software and AI models that let industrial humanoid robots learn new tasks from operator demonstrations. EU-Startups, Eureka, FinSMEs, and the Raise Track Update all place the company in Paris. This page stores Paris, France. EU-Startups says founded in Paris in 2025. Eureka says December 2025. Startup.eu says 2026. The sources disagree, so no founding year is stored. No company website was verified.
EU-Startups, FinSMEs, and the issue are dated October 29, 2026, so the round date is 2026-10-29. All of them, and Eureka, say a 5 million euro pre-seed. The amount is in euros, so no amount_usd is stored.
Contrarian Ventures and OVNI Capital co-led, and both are marked as leads. Kvanted, WEPA Ventures, Motier Ventures, and Charlie Songhurst participated. Eureka calls Charlie Songhurst a technology investor. That line is not stored as a biography. The founders, Benoît Berkoukchi, Jean-Baptiste Mouret, and Serena Ivaldi, do not have pages.
