- How much has All3 raised and who invested?
- All3 raised a $25m seed round on 29 April 2026 led by RTP Global, with SuperSeed, Begin Capital, s16vc and VNV Global also participating.Source: CNBC, April 2026
- Why is All3 opening factories in Ukraine?
- All3 says its agentic factory systems are geographically portable; a defence-client factory in Ukraine addresses active reconstruction and rearmament demand. The company views its systems as applicable identically in Birmingham and Mariupol.
Background
All3 is a UK construction-robotics and agentic-factory startup based in Birmingham. The company builds automated, AI-directed manufacturing systems, which it calls agentic factories, for clients in defence, robotics and aerospace. Its systems combine robotic arms, computer vision and AI planning software to automate multi-step fabrication tasks that have traditionally required skilled manual labour. All3 was founded to address the productivity and skills gaps in UK advanced manufacturing, sectors that the government has identified as strategic priorities.
All3 raised a $25m (approximately £18.5m) seed round on 29 April 2026, led by RTP Global, with SuperSeed, Begin Capital, s16vc and VNV Global also participating. The round is one of the largest UK seed rounds for a construction-robotics company and funds expansion beyond the UK into France, Germany and Ukraine. The Ukraine expansion is strategically notable: an agentic factory for defence clients in Ukraine addresses active reconstruction and rearmament demand, and the company's assessment is that its factory systems are geographically portable, operating identically in Birmingham and Mariupol.
All3 sits within a cluster of UK defence-tech startups that have benefited from the Ministry of Defence's increased engagement with commercial innovators following the 2025 Defence Review. Alongside the MOD's £20m accelerated contracts fund and the DIAG-permanent Sprint and Zig-Zag financing mechanisms, All3 represents the private-capital component of the same thesis: AI-directed manufacturing capacity that can serve military procurement while building commercial revenue.
