Gravis Robotics Series A: Softbank wettet 200 Mio. auf autonome Bagger – Martin Janicki (Tenet)

from Startup Insider · host Jan Thomas, Martin Janicki (Tenet), Lucas Lehmann

Warum zahlt Softbank 200 Mio. Dollar für ein Startup, das keine einzige Maschine baut? Martin Janicki ist General Partner und Gründer von Tenet, einer Berliner Investmentfirma für KI-getriebene Roll-ups. In Investments & Exits mit Jan Thomas analysiert er die Series A von Gravis Robotics, Softbanks Kingmaker-Logik und was Physical AI für autonome Baumaschinen bedeutet. Über den Gast Martin Janicki ist General Partner und Gründer von Tenet. Der gebürtige Berliner mit polnischen Wurzeln studierte Business und Economics an der Universität St. Gallen, mit einem Austauschsemester an der Harvard University und Beteiligung am Harvard Innovation Lab. Von 2017 bis 2024 war er Partner bei Cavalry Ventures in Berlin und arbeitete dort mit Unternehmen wie Bryter, Usercentrics, Afilio und Spread zusammen; parallel begleitete er Flip, Kinnu und Xaver als Board Observer, Investor und Board Member. Im Februar 2026 gründete er gemeinsam mit Alexander Maly, Sahil Patwa und Simon Lohmann Tenet, eine Investmentfirma für KI-getriebene Markttransformationen mit Fokus auf Roll-ups. Der Fonds finanziert Unternehmen, die kleinere Firmen in fragmentierten Branchen wie Ingenieurbüros, Hausverwaltungen oder Steuerberatungen zusammenkaufen und deren interne Prozesse mit KI modernisieren. Angestrebt wird eine Fondsgröße von 80 Millionen Euro; erster Deal war ein 5-Millionen-Investment in Taxforce. Genau diese Perspektive auf Software-Adoption im Mittelstand bringt er in die Bewertung autonomer Baumaschinen ein.Erwähnte Links:https://group.softbank/en/ir/presentations?utm_source=chatgpt.com Zu den Live Sessions:Alle unsere kommenden Live Sessions:https://sessions.startup-insider.com/session?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_content=shownotes Den beliebten Startup Insider Daily Newsletter kann man hier abonnieren: https://startup-insider.com/newsletter-anmelden/ **Startup Insider – der tägliche Podcast zur Startup- & Tech-Szene**Startup Insider liefert dir werktäglich kompakte News, Einordnungen und Interviews zu Startups, Venture Capital, Finanzierungsrunden, Exits und neuen Technologien.**Jetzt folgen & keine Folge verpassen** **Alle weiteren Podcasts, Newsletter, Events & Werbepartner findest du hier** : 🔗 https://linktr.ee/startupinsider Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
