Crijn Bouman, Co-founder & CEO, Rocsys | Slush 2025
summary
Company builds an autonomous infrastructure stack that turns vehicle depots into lights-out service hubs, using a robotic arm on a gantry to plug chargers, inspect exteriors and clean interiors. Claims 30–70% lower operating cost in year one, replaces the industry norm of ~10 vehicles per depot headcount (scaling to ~1,000 staff for 10,000 vehicles with three‑month tenure churn). Product is deployed in logistics and port terminals, won a first major US robo‑taxi contract and targets nationwide roll‑out across hundreds of facilities.
