European Startups Draw Fresh Funding for Sustainable Fashion, Robotics and Legal Tech

In the United Kingdom, embodied-AI startup Extend Robotics has closed a £2.6 million early-stage round to expand what it calls a Result-as-a-Service model across European industrial sectors, Ventureburn reported. Skyworks Venture Capital Fund led the round, with participation from Neo Venture (Europe) and Zip Capital. Rather than selling physical machines, the company prices its offering against completed work and scales it with demand, assuming the operational risk of deployments. Its AMAS platform lets operators without a robotics background control robot arms or humanoids remotely through a 3D interface, with AI handling routine portions of each task. According to Ventureburn, the platform serves 35 subscription customers across automotive, aerospace, nuclear, robotics and agriculture, and revenue has doubled year on year for three consecutive years.

Copenhagen-based LegalTech company Pandektes has raised €13.5 million in a Series A round, EU-Startups reported. The round was led by Munich-based Alstin Capital, with participation from PROfounders, Scale Capital and existing investors. It follows a €2.9 million seed investment announced last year. Founded in 2022 by Casper Laursen and Søren Brokær, Pandektes operates a platform that collects, structures and connects legal information, including legislation, court decisions and administrative rulings, and combines it with an organisation's own data. Andreas Schenk, Managing Partner at Alstin Capital, told EU-Startups that the company is building modern data infrastructure for the entire European legal landscape.
