PRESS RELEASE – InOrbit.AI, the leading provider of robot orchestration software, announced the successful closure of its Series A funding round, co-led by L’ATTITUDE Ventures and Globant Ventures, the Corporate Venture Capital Fund of Globant (NYSE: GLOB). The capital infusion will accelerate the development of InOrbit’s innovative robotics software platform and strategically expand its market presence across key industries, including manufacturing, logistics, retail and hospitality.
In an era of unprecedented challenges for enterprises, from persistent labor shortages to complex supply chain risks, businesses are increasingly turning to automation for resilience and efficiency. However, a fragmented robotics market, rigid enterprise software, and siloed physical infrastructure have created a significant barrier to adoption at scale. InOrbit’s vision is to enable a world where humans, robots, and AI work together to drive radical productivity improvements and empower people to reach new heights.
“Our ambition is to optimize everything that moves, helping our customers increase flexibility, become more resilient, and drive continuous efficiency improvements in their physical workflows,” said Florian Pestoni, Founder and CEO of InOrbit.AI. “This Series A investment is a powerful validation of our vision. We are innovating at the intersection of agentic and physical AI, enabling software-defined orchestration of smart robots, vehicles, software and equipment.”
InOrbit.AI has established itself as the leader in robot orchestration software, managing smart robots across the globe for enterprises such as Colgate-Palmolive and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group. InOrbit Space Intelligence™ serves as the central nervous system for smarter robot operations, transforming fragmented automation deployments into cohesive, intelligent systems that work seamlessly with human teams.
“InOrbit Space Intelligence represents the future of how we think about physical operations,” said Laura Moreno Lucas, General Partner at L’ATTITUDE Ventures. “We are witnessing a profound transformation in how industries operate, and robot orchestration is the critical missing layer of the tech stack, making all the parts work together in harmony. We are proud to partner with the InOrbit team on this journey.”
“As a leader that helps organizations to thrive in an AI-powered future, we think of the integration between AI, robotics, and existing business systems as one of its key breakthroughs,” said Martin Umaran, Chief Corporate Development Officer and Co-founder of Globant. “InOrbit’s platform represents exactly the kind of foundational technology layer our enterprise clients need – one that enhances their current WMS, ERP, and operational systems rather than replacing them. By supporting InOrbit, and enhancing it with agentic AI power, we expand its ability to orchestrate different fleets of robots and autonomous systems across industries at scale.”
InOrbit is bringing agentic AI capabilities to physical operations, enabling autonomous decision-making and adaptive responses in real-world environments. Through this investment and partnership, Globant and InOrbit build on their strengths in the robotics and AI ecosystem, expanding their customers’ ability to integrate physical automation into enterprise workflows. Leveraging Globant Enterprise AI, the company’s flagship AI platform, the organizations are working together to develop agentic solutions to bring digital transformation, with Space Intelligence acting as a bridge to the physical world.
InOrbit’s success is part of the broader industry developments in robotics and AI, from highly specialized mobile robots to general-purpose humanoid robots with embedded intelligence. With a billion robots expected over the next decade, InOrbit provides the shared digital infrastructure for seamless collaboration between humans, robots, and fixed equipment.
The company’s funding round builds on a track record of momentum, including its selection in 2024 for the Google for Startups Founders Fund focused on artificial intelligence. That recognition underscored InOrbit’s emergence as a leader at the intersection of AI, robotics, and enterprise transformation.
“InOrbit.AI is doing great work in making robotics more accessible and practical across industries,” said Danny Navarro, Head of Google for Startups in North America. “We’re proud to support Florian and his team through the Google for Startups program. Their creative use of Google Cloud and AI tools is driving real progress in the physical world for enterprise customers, and we’re excited to see their continued growth and impact.”
“We are in the midst of an explosion in robotics, with robots coming in all shapes, sizes and functions,” adds Pestoni. “At InOrbit, we make robots work better, together.”
