Today we're announcing $110M in Series B funding, the launch of Cortex 2, and Sereact's expansion into the United States. Physical AI has a data problem. Everyone is racing to build world models - systems that let robots reason about what will happen before they act. Most of that work is happening in research labs, trained on synthetic data. A world model trained on simulation learns a world that doesn't exist. We took a different bet five years ago. You can't build real robotics AI in a lab. You build it with a data flywheel fed by real deployments - shipping into production, living with the failures, and letting the model learn from what actually happens on the floor. The numbers show it worked. More than 200 Sereact systems are live across Europe. Over one billion real production picks. One human-in-the-loop intervention per 53,000. Cortex 2, launching today, takes that foundation and adds a world model. The robot runs possible actions against a learned model of physics and object behaviour, picks the one most likely to succeed, and updates in real time. It takes Cortex out of the picking bin and into work where contact matters - assembly under tension, kitting, placement where every millimeter counts. We don't build robots. We don't sell services. We ship one thing: the model that runs on any robot. Single arm, dual arm, humanoid, fixed cell - same brain across all of it. To the Sereact team: every pick in production is you. Thank you. To the customers who bet on us early - Daimler Truck, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Austrian Post, bol., Rohlik Group, Active Ants, MS Direct, DeltiLog, Monta - we owe this moment to you. The round was led by Headline, with Bullhound Capital, Felix Capital, and Daphni joining. Air Street Capital, Creandum, and Point Nine all re-invested. Thank you for the conviction. Next stop: Boston. More soon.

Almost three years ago, I told my wife, Hannah, it would be a dream if Grüns could one day partner with Unilever. I'm thrilled to share that today is that day. Unilever is acquiring Grüns. Grüns was born out of a simple belief: your healthiest habit is the one you’ll actually keep. Health should be something you look forward to. The company was born from humble beginnings. By our second anniversary, we crossed $300M of revenue. Today, we ship 10 million gummies daily. Grüns is the # 1 Greens Supplement brand at retail and on Amazon. We’re more accessible than ever, available in over 7,000 retail doors. And unsurprisingly, I’m confident this is just the beginning. What’s the “secret” to our growth? Consumers actually use, enjoy, and benefit from Grüns every day. In fact, 95% of our customers enjoy Grüns at least 4-6x per week, with 80% enjoying Grüns daily. If you’ve tried our gummies, I’m sure you can relate. So why Unilever? That’s easy. Because this was never about finding a buyer. It was about finding the right partner to amplify what we've built, for you, our customers. Unilever Wellbeing has a proven track record of propelling incredible brands into household names with care. They share our focus on science-backed innovation and products that make a real impact. Our team is thrilled to learn from and contribute to Unilever Wellbeing. What sealed it for me was the people. Led by Jostein Solheim, the Unilever team is smart, passionate, and kind. I’m grateful the Grüns team will work alongside individuals who care as deeply about our mission as we do. Grüns will remain Grüns — just more impactful and incrementally better every day. I'm grateful to stay on as CEO. There is so much left to accomplish, and so much ahead we’re excited to show you. To our customers: this moment belongs to you. Our team wakes up every day dreaming up new ways to serve you. To our investors: thank you for believing in us. To the Grüns team: no words can express what each of you means to me. Thank you for dreaming big, committing fully, and leading with kindness. The last few years have been the best of my life. But I can confidently say the next several years are going to be even better. And to my wife, Hannah: from our Stanford dorm room to this moment, thank you for believing in me. Thank you for being “Employee 0”, as you’ve coined yourself. Thank you for your endless patience and love. We started Grüns to propel the nutrition category forward. With Unilever, that reality becomes more achievable. P.S. We're officially changing our name to Ünilever. (Kidding. But the umlaut does work...)
