Our take
German startup Circus Group - formerly Circus Kitchen - was initially founded to develop a delivery app for creating micro kitchen ecosystems. Since acquiring Aitme in 2023, it has maintained its micro-kitchen hub and delivery app but pivoted towards autonomous robotics for kitchen automation.
Aitme's cooking robot will add another level of low-cost, high-quality cuisine to Circus’s offering. Reduced food waste, overhead costs and cooking times are a distinct value-addition to the Hamburg company.
Backed by BlackMars Capital and 2bx, the company expanded its operations into other German cities in 2023. It has since expanded into Beijing, where it will install 5400 autonomous kitchen robots across more than 90 of the city's educational institutions. Projections report that this significant expansion for a European company will raise Circus to Unicorn status. Time will tell if this prediction becomes reality.
