All3 secures £19m to tackle Germany's 700,000-home shortage with robots
This article covers All3, a robotic construction platform startup, which has raised £19m in a growth funding round led by RTP Global, with participation from SuperSeed, Begin Capital, s16vc and VNV Global. The funding will be used to advance R&D in London and Belgrade and to deploy its integrated robots, design software and robotic factories on commercial projects in Germany, where the startup cites an estimated 700,000-home shortage.
All3, a robotic construction platform startup, has raised £19 million in a growth funding round led by RTP Global, with participation from SuperSeed, Begin Capital, s16vc and VNV Global. The capital will be used to advance R&D in London and Belgrade and to deploy its integrated robots, design software and robotic factories on commercial projects in Germany — a market the company says faces an estimated 700,000-home shortage.
Why it matters
Construction is a $6.7 trillion global industry with long‑standing productivity challenges. Improvements have lagged for decades, keeping labour intensity and costs high and slowing delivery of new housing. All3’s proposition is notable because it attempts to combine on‑site robotics, design automation and off‑site manufacturing into a single process rather than treating prefabrication, design and site work as separate silos.
If the company’s efficiency claims hold up — cost reductions of up to 30%, timelines shortened by up to 50% and embodied carbon cut by up to 25% — the model could change how mid‑rise residential and commercial projects are delivered in dense urban contexts where standardised prefabrication has struggled.
Inside the product
All3 builds an end‑to‑end system: parametric design software that converts architectural designs into robotic instructions, autonomous robots that perform construction tasks on site, and robotic factories for producing bespoke components off site. The company says its design platform has already processed more than 100,000 square metres of residential projects and that it has established a construction pipeline in Germany for 2026–2027.
The approach aims to preserve architectural flexibility for irregular urban sites — a common limitation of conventional prefabrication — while automating repetitive and precision tasks that are currently manual and time consuming.
Who are the investors?
The round was led by RTP Global. Other participants include SuperSeed, Begin Capital, s16vc and VNV Global.
RTP Global and SuperSeed framed the investment as backing a team that pairs robotics and physical AI with early commercial traction. The lead and participating investors cited All3’s engineering depth and initial demand in Germany as reasons to commit capital for product development and deployment.
In the announcement, Jelmer de Jong, Partner at RTP Global, said:
There’s huge potential for technology to improve efficiencies and project delivery in the construction sector. All3 brings the engineering depth and strategic focus to meaningfully drive this long-overdue market shift. Rodion and the team’s success in pairing cutting-edge robotics and physical AI with a working model is proven by their encouraging early demand. We can’t wait to see the first building break ground this year.
In the announcement, Mads Jensen, Partner at SuperSeed, said:
Construction is a $6.7 trillion industry still waiting for its productivity revolution. The team has the engineering depth, the technology platform, and the commercial traction to deliver it. We backed All3 because Europe needs its own physical AI champions, and this exceptional team is building one.

Founder perspective
Rodion Shishkov, co‑founder and CEO, previously founded grocery delivery startups Samokat and Buyk. All3’s team is applying experience from rapid logistics and product delivery to a domain that has seen limited technological change.
In the announcement, Rodion Shishkov, Co-founder & CEO at All3, said:
We started All3 to develop robotics and AI solutions that can be deployed to fix construction’s existential problems. This Seed round validates that we're positioned to solve a problem historically considered impossible. Construction is the largest global sector yet to experience a productivity revolution – representing a trillion-dollar opportunity. With this funding, we'll scale deployment of our technology with one clear mission: to solve the housing crisis once and for all. Access to quality housing is a fundamental human need, and we're building the technology to make it a reality for everyone.
The bigger picture
All3’s raise sits at the intersection of robotics, physical AI and construction — an area attracting renewed investor attention in Europe as startups attempt to tackle housing shortages and delivery inefficiencies. The company’s R&D footprint in London and Belgrade and its initial rollout in Germany reflect a European approach: develop engineering capability locally while chasing projects in markets with acute housing demand.
The funding round highlights continued momentum among construction investors for automation and robotics solutions that promise measurable cost, time and carbon benefits as cities seek to increase housing supply.
