This investment marks a significant milestone for both SprayVision and Momenta Ventures, as it represents Momenta’s first foray into Central Europe. The primary objective of this funding is to support SprayVision’s ambitious expansion into the United States market.
Innovating Industrial Coating with Intelligent Solutions
SprayVision, founded by Petr Jahn and Vojtěch Roul, has quickly established itself as a leader in process control and simulation of paint coating operations. Their intelligent coating solution enables dynamic process control and optimization of paint lines, significantly reducing time, scrap, paint waste, and emissions. With a simulation prediction accuracy of over 98%, SprayVision empowers customers to transition from traditional automation to fully autonomous operations. This groundbreaking technology supports clients in digitizing manual processes and enhancing automation environments where human-robot collaboration is seamlessly integrated.
Petr Jahn, Co-founder and CEO of SprayVision, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “We are excited to partner with Momenta, a venture capital investor that deeply understands our industrial customers and their pain points. We look forward to their practical support as we expand into North America and fully penetrate the European Automotive market.”
A Strategic Investment for Global Impact
Miroslav Kriz, Venture Partner at Momenta Ventures, highlighted the importance of this investment: “We believe our investment in SprayVision is pivotal in accelerating the shift toward autonomy in manufacturing and bridging the expertise gaps within the labor force. These factors are vital amid the growing resurgence and reshoring of manufacturing in the Americas and Europe.”

Additionally, SprayVision is the seventeenth company to receive investment from Momenta’s Digital Industry Fund III, anchored by Advantech, the global leader in digital industrial solutions.
Jerry O’Gorman, VP at Advantech IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) division, stated, “We are pleased to invest in SprayVision. Their solution can potentially revolutionize the paint coating process by significantly reducing paint consumption while enhancing quality and sustainability standards. We see great opportunities to collaborate with SprayVision to expedite their development of autonomous processes.”
A Vision for the Future
The €2 million investment will be utilized to accelerate SprayVision’s growth and innovation, solidifying its role in the digital transformation of coating operations. This strategic funding will enable SprayVision to expand its global operations and create an even greater industrial impact. By leveraging the expertise and resources of Momenta Ventures and J&T Ventures, SprayVision is poised to enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of industrial coating processes on a global scale.
SprayVision’s intelligent solutions address a critical need in the industry, providing a reliable and efficient means of controlling and optimizing paint operations. The company’s technology not only improves operational efficiency but also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing waste and emissions.
Bridging the Gap in Industrial Expertise
The interest of investors and tech entrepreneurs in entering the field of security and industrial technologies has been growing significantly in recent years. For investors, the biggest barrier to entry is often the general inaccessibility of sector-specific expertise needed to evaluate the quality of technology and its commercial viability. Tech entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are hindered by complex regulations, time-consuming processes, and the fulfillment of numerous formal criteria. The partnership between SprayVision, Momenta Ventures, and J&T Ventures directly tackles these barriers and risks, providing a unique blend of industrial know-how and technological expertise.
SprayVision’s innovative approach is not just about technology but about creating solutions that have a meaningful impact on the industry and society. By supporting SprayVision’s expansion into North America and beyond, this investment aims to bridge the gap in industrial expertise and drive the future of autonomous manufacturing.
