RBVC (Robert Bosch Venture Capital) is a global venture capital firm that backs early-stage deep tech startups in areas like energy efficiency, medical devices, and virtual/augmented reality. It supports companies with funding and access to Bosch’s network and resources to help them scale and bring innovations to market. Unlike traditional VCs, RBVC may purchase solutions for a proof-of-concept while allowing startups to keep their intellectual property, which speeds up development and lowers upfront costs. The firm earns money through equity investments and the eventual success of its portfolio. RBVC’s goal is to accelerate technological advances across multiple industries by connecting startups with Bosch’s ecosystem, customers (from medical centers to data centers), and global reach.

Neurophos Inc., a chip startup developing technology to outperform AI accelerators, has raised $110 million in funding led by Gates Frontier, Bill Gates' venture capital fund. Microsoft's M12 and Aramco Ventures, the investment arm of Saudi Arabia's state-owned oil producer, also participated. Additional investors in the round included Bosch Ventures, Tectonic Ventures and Space Capital. The company aims to develop new chip technology capable of surpassing current accelerators used to run AI models.
Berlin-based Cloover has raised $1.22 billion in combined funding to accelerate Europe's energy transition. The financing includes $22 million in Series A equity led by QED and MMC, with participation from Bosch Ventures and others, plus $1.2 billion in debt facilities and a €300 million guarantee from the European Investment Fund. Founded two years ago, Cloover has built an AI-powered operating system that helps installation companies offer renewable energy systems to households for €100-150 monthly over 25 years, eliminating high upfront costs. The platform combines workflow tools, financing, energy management and procurement. The company uses AI-based credit assessment that considers future energy savings alongside traditional metrics, achieving higher approval rates than banks. Cloover partners with installation businesses rather than competing with them, taking a B2B2C approach. The company aims to reach €500 million revenue run rate by end-2026.
The platform serves 500,000 residents across 60 cities and leverages AI to drive engagement and insights.
