Reckon.ai Raises €5.1M to Accelerate Global Expansion of AI-Powered Autonomous Retail Platform

Reckon.ai, the Portuguese startup transforming unattended retail through AI, has secured €5.1 million in a new funding round, bringing total investment to €8.5 million since its founding. The round included backing from Iberis Capital, Alea Capital Partners, and Touro Capital Partners.

Reckon.ai has developed a patented AI-powered operating system that turns traditional retail infrastructure — such as fridges, shelves, and cabinets — into fully autonomous smart assets. The company’s flagship product, AI-enabled smart freezers, is redefining possibilities in unattended and on-the-go retail.

Recent partnerships with Unilever’s Magnum Ice Cream, Accor’s ibis hotels, and Carrefour Belgium signal Reckon.ai’s growing momentum. With this latest investment, the company will expand operations across Europe and the United States, advancing its mission to lead the future of autonomous retail.
