Solothrun-based Eleven Dynamics AG, a software developer and full-breed integrator of automated and open production solutions, has announced its latest Seed+ investment round, securing €3.7 million.
The round was led by the newly acquired lead investors EquityPitcher Ventures and seed + speed Ventures, as well as other new investors, including Zürcher Kantonalbank and angel investor Bertrand Gili. Existing investors Bloomhaus Ventures and Schauenburg Ventures also joined. In addition, the company raised €3.1 million through a loan from the Swiss Technology Fund.
Santiago Droll, CEO Eleven Dynamics AG commented: “I am very excited about our recent investment round, which brings not only capital but also strong industry connections. With Bertrand Gili, a senior international executive with over 20 years of metrology and manufacturing experience, joining our board, we are ready to scale, optimize, and expand. His contribution will be extremely valuable for the coming years!”
Founded in 2020 by Santiago Droll, Eleven Dynamics AG is a provider of automated production solutions that “ensure 100% quality assurance“, trusted by companies such as BMW, Audi, and Sauber Motorsport. The company focuses on automating inline metrology to establish new industry standards. Its open platform looks to offer flexibility and integration, enabling predictive maintenance, sustainable infrastructure, and global data connectivity.
Their open software platform for automated metrology enables companies to transition toward a ‘Smart Factory 4.0’, where production steps are optimised, and quality assurance is fully automated. Additionally, their solutions integrate predictive maintenance to minimise downtime.
The company’s flagship software, ‘Automation Suite’, interconnects existing Metrology software and best in class measurement devices and sensors to plan, automate and streamline measurement workflows and adapts seamlessly to customers’ selected hardware and robot configurations.
Eleven Dynamics is also strengthening its Board of Directors with the appointment of Bertrand Gili and Hermann Koch from Equity Pitcher. Both bring extensive experience in technology investments and strategic growth and will join existing Board members Michael Fischer, Santiago Droll and Pascal Stürchler from Bloomhaus Ventures to support the company in its next phase of growth and expansion.
Hermann Koch, Founding Partner EquityPitcher Ventures commented: “Eleven Dynamics enables the best components to work together – each specifically tailored to the customer’s requirements. With measurement cycles that are up to 100 times faster, they offer unbeatable added value for the production lines of the future.”
The company will use the new funding to enable the scaling of individual measuring cells to entire production lines and plants, targeted expansion into the APAC market and other industries such as aerospace. The further development of the software platform will enable customers to reliably and easily integrate the latest technologies – such as robotics, sensors, cameras with artificial intelligence and automated guided vehicles – into their production lines.
Eleven Dynamics also plans to integrate AI across platforms and expand its sales team.
Alexander Kölpin, Co-founder and Managing Director of seed + speed Ventures added: “We are impressed by the vision and expertise of the Eleven Dynamics team. Their open platform enables companies to identify deviations in automated production before they become a problem and lead to rejects. This saves both time and resources – an absolutely crucial competitive advantage.”
