The Bulgarian VC fund has led the seed investment round in RobosizeME, a Czech process automation specialist for the global hospitality industry in its first deal of a new Fund II.

It has been only two weeks since BrightCap announced the Fund II, and now leads the first investment from it.

“Founded by a stellar team combining hospitality domain expertise with advanced skills in process automation and system integration, RobosizeME leverages extensive industry knowledge and technical expertise to help hotel chains and large hospitality management companies enhance efficiencies in all areas of hotel operations. RobosizeME’s digital workers have already been introduced to multiple reputable hotel chains and hotel management companies, including Kempinski Hotels and Resorts, Louvre Hotels Group, Global Hotel Alliance, Design Hotels, Dorchester Collection, H World Hotels, MCR Hotels, Story Hospitality and many more” commented the fund on their website.

This is the second time they are backing the founder Stephen Burke, following the Fund I investment in Kardi AI—a medical-grade long-term ECG heart monitoring startup. Stephen’s track record in the hospitality technology sector spans over 22 years and includes a successful previous exit. This time, he is teaming up with co-founders Linda Girrbach, a seasoned hospitality and revenue management expert, and Ivo Brabec, a CFO and finance entrepreneur.

Apart from the lead investor BrightCap, other investors in this round include hospitality-focused Czech – Indonesian newly forming Botanique Hospitality Management Group.

The fresh capital will enable the RobosizeME to grow and reach the milestone of signing 6,000 hotels within 18 months.
