OTee builds a software-defined control layer for mission-critical industrial operations: virtual PLCs that replace proprietary controller hardware with software running on open, off-the-shelf hardware, plus the engineering tooling around it. It positions as the platform for the next generation of automation engineers, the control plane industrial AI will need.
Led by CEO Henrik Pedersen with CTO Radek Janik and a build-out across engineering and product (VP Engineering Tord Van Delft, VP Product Jan Land). €5.3M seed announced April 2026, led by North Ventures with Atlas SGR, joined by RunwayFBU, Superangel and Antler; amplified by Grishin Robotics' network. No Series A announced.
Named customers and deployment counts are not public ("trusted across industries" is company language, not evidence). Certification posture for safety-critical control (IEC 61131/61508) is the key diligence question in this category.
