Hive Robotics — autonomous last-km & last-mile delivery robots (Seed round open)
Cofondateur at Hive Robotics
PARIS, France
About
Hive Robotics designs, manufactures and operates autonomous delivery robots that travel on sidewalks at 5–10 km/h. Two models: Hive Compact (≈50 kg) and Hive Max (≈250 kg).
THE OPPORTUNITY
Last-mile is the most expensive, least efficient and most polluting part of delivery. Hive automates it with robots leased to companies and cities — no driver, lower cost per delivery, zero local emissions.
TRACTION & MATURITY
• 7+ years of R&D, two industrialized models
• Batch 1 in production
• First commercial contracts signed; pilots underway with French retail, food and hospitality groups
• NVIDIA Inception member
BUSINESS MODEL
Long-term leasing (recurring revenue), plus two extra revenue streams per robot: on-board out-of-home advertising and anonymized urban data.
THE RAISE
We're raising a Seed round [€500k] to scale production and accelerate commercial roll-out across Europe. [Eligible for the French IR-PME tax incentive.] Open to business angels and funds.
