Bleu Robotics has raised a €5M pre-seed co-led by Contrarian Ventures and OVNI Capital, with Kvanted, WEPA and Meta board member Charlie Songhurst participating. The angel who shared the news found the founder via the French company registry 3 days after incorporation. Key problem: of 20,000+ humanoids produced last year only 10% reached real-world use, as end-to-end models need hundreds of hours of data and months of deployment. Bleu aims to cut deployment to under an hour by inferring task intent and constraints from a single operator demonstration.
