Robotics and industrial simulation investment banking: fundraising

Autonomous farm robots, tethered drones, simulation of complex industrial systems: Apparius advises companies bringing autonomy and modelling to industry, agriculture and infrastructure.

These companies must fund R&D, industrialisation and commercial roll-out at the same time, often internationally. We introduce them to deeptech funds, growth investors and strategic investors, such as Accenture for Cosmo Tech.

Cosmo Tech, from first round to Series C

Since 2014, we have advised Cosmo Tech (formerly The CoSMo Company), a Lyon-based developer of a platform for modelling and simulating complex systems, which lets energy and logistics companies test their decisions on digital twins. In 2014, we advised the company on its first €3.8M round with Aster, Sofimac and Crédit Agricole Création.

In 2018, the company raised €18M to expand across Europe, led by Inven Capital, the fund of Czech energy group ČEZ, alongside Cemag Invest and Cathay Innovation. In 2023, after moving to a SaaS model distributed by Microsoft, IBM and Accenture, we ran its Series C, whose first tranche was taken up by Accenture Ventures with Inven Capital and Cemag Invest.
