The company plans to use the new capital raised to expand its operations beyond Singapore, where it is headquartered, and Paris, where it maintains an R&D office. The new office will be established in Hanoi in July. Eureka Robotics has also deployed factories in Singapore, China, and Japan.

Touchstone Partners on May 17 announced that it participated in Eureka Robotics’ recently closed a pre-Series A round, which raised $4.25 million from a handful of investors.

The capital is key to our ability to accelerate the development of the Eureka Controller, our primary product, as well as several others and to further build out our engineering team. We recognise that Touchstone will be a valuable partner as we bring the company to Vietnam, the home of some of our core team members, and access the country’s vast tech talent pool.”
