Grep VC

Grep VC operates as a venture capital firm dedicated to early-stage Robotics as a Service (RaaS) companies. The firm’s investment thesis centers on service robots leased to enterprise clients, emphasizing solutions built on reliable, cost-effective commodity hardware rather than novel hardware breakthroughs. This approach reflects their belief that RaaS represents the next evolution following the Software as a Service model, leveraging extensive experience in AI, SaaS, and hardware.

The firm was founded by Bruno Bowden and Paul Willard, both experienced engineers, operators, and investors. Their shared insight stemmed from a recognition of the evolving RaaS landscape and a desire to build a firm run by operators for operators. This foundation allows them to bring practical experience from previous generations of RaaS development to their portfolio companies.

Grep VC serves founders developing ambitious RaaS solutions for enterprise markets. The firm’s vision is to leverage its deep operational and investment experience to guide these founders, focusing intently on supporting portfolio companies in their growth. They aim to empower the next generation of RaaS innovators, helping them navigate market complexities and achieve success.
