Self-service food startup Bolk closes €4m funding round
Robotic catering startup Bolk has raised €4 million in a first funding round that involved the likes of Kima Ventures.
A Bolk robot takes up less than two square metres of floor space and is plugged into the mains. It can produce up to 60 meals an hour, with up to 300 different combinations, either to be served cold or be reheated.
Founded in 2020 and based in Paris, Bolk’s target for 2022 is to produce around 40 robots and deploy them in both the Île-de-France and other provinces.
Initially, it aims to market its robot to companies, but is also interested in places where people circulate.
“This fundraising is an important step in our growth. It will enable us to gain an initial share of the market,” says Bolk Founder Nicolas Jeanne.
“The catering sector is constantly evolving and we are building a new self-service food experience, offering companies and their staff a daily menu of delicious and eco-responsible meals at the best possible prices; meals that are made to order and produced in 45 seconds flat, therefore ultra fresh.”
