DD-Grade Clarity When There Is No Deal on the Table Yet: Tech Health Check at ANYbotics

DD-Grade Clarity When There Is No Deal on the Table Yet

ANYbotics builds autonomous four-legged robots that inspect industrial plants where humans shouldn’t have to go. In early 2025, the Zurich scale-up asked us to point our due-diligence lens at their own stack — before anyone else does.

Why a Health Check

Every growth-stage company eventually meets a due diligence — at the next round, the next strategic partnership, the next enterprise deal. A Tech Health Check answers one simple question while there is still time to act on it: what would they find?

For ANYbotics, an ETH Zurich spin-off whose ANYmal robots combine legged locomotion, on-board AI and a fleet management cloud, that question spans an unusually deep stack — from perception models running on the robot to the software platform operating fleets across customers’ industrial sites.

Assessment Angles

The full stack — robot to cloud — with the same rigor we bring to a deal, and none of the deal pressure.

• Autonomy & AI stack
• Architecture — robot to cloud
• Engineering organization
• Security posture
• Roadmap & R&D allocation
• Operational readiness

What the Company Takes Away

A health check report belongs to the company, not to an investor. ANYbotics received a prioritized, engineering-level view of where the stack is genuinely strong, where scale will bite first, and what to fix in which order — the difference between walking into the next diligence prepared and finding out live.

A few months after the health check, ANYbotics announced a funding round of over €127 million for its four-legged workforce.
