Solo VC Robin Capital closes €15 million second fund to back AI, robotics and space startups

Berlin-based venture capital firm Robin Capital has successfully closed its second €15 million fund, bringing the total committed capital for its early-stage funds to €30 million. The new fund, titled Robin Capital Fund II, follows the initial €15 million vehicle that was closed in 2024. To date, the firm has made 17 investments, focusing on intelligence, defense, Earth observation, and space technology, among other sectors.

CEO and General Partner Robin Haak emphasized that building Robin Capital is a collaborative effort, crediting the firm's limited partners, founders, and venture partners for its success. The firm's Solo General Partner model enables Haak to lead investment decisions while leveraging a network of venture partners, limited partners, and over 100 experienced operators.

Robin Capital's initial fund has supported European technology companies such as Simsalasim, Uvionix, Paypercut, and Xaver, while Fund II aims to invest in emerging technologies like AI, autonomous systems, and space infrastructure. Beyond its two funds, Robin Capital has established three growth Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to support ARX Robotics, Almetra, and Ground A, providing its investor community with additional financing opportunities.

Founded in 2023 by Robin Haak, Robin Capital primarily invests €100,000 to €600,000 in pre-Seed and Seed-stage European startups, focusing on sectors including AI, enterprise software, robotics, defense, space, and DeepTech. With plans to launch a third €15 million early-stage fund and consider a dedicated growth continuity fund, Robin Capital aims to back around 80 to 90 startups in total.
