Voliro, a leading aerial robotics company, has secured $12 million in its Series A funding round , backed by Cherry Ventures and other investors. This new capital will help the Swiss company expand the use of its advanced drones in industrial inspections , where maintenance at height is a costly and dangerous challenge.
Since its creation in 2019, Voliro has developed flying robots equipped with an innovative tilting rotor system, allowing them to operate accurately on any surface, even the most difficult ones. These drones have been adopted by major companies such as Chevron and Holcim , which use the technology to reduce the risks and costs associated with traditional inspections.

Voliro’s subscription-based business model has allowed its customers to access the latest innovations in aerial robotics, ensuring that equipment and software are constantly updated. This, combined with its ability to perform contact inspections in adverse conditions, positions the company as a benchmark in safety and precision.
Christian Meermann, Partner at Cherry Ventures, said: ” Voliro is setting a new standard in the industrial sector, combining safety and efficiency on a global level .”
With this capital injection, Voliro plans to continue expanding into new markets and perfecting its technology to become the standard in industrial work at height.
