Dental Robotics receives CHF 40,000 from Venture Kick to advance mobile dental system engineering
23.02.2026
Dental Robotics receives CHF 40,000 from Venture Kick to advance its ultra-lightweight mobile dental hygiene system. The 3-in-1 solution enables high-quality dental care outside traditional practices, supporting scalable deployment for mobile providers and expanding access to care through portable, workflow-optimized technology.

What was the first real signal that your solution worked outside the lab or pitch deck, and what did that moment change for you?
The turning point was signing a Letter of Intent for 100 units with a U.S. mobile dental provider. That’s when our idea shifted from “interesting” to real market demand.
It completely changed our mindset. We started systematically tackling engineering, manufacturability, regulatory strategy, and go-to-market execution. The fact that a major U.S. provider believed in the product gave us the confidence to leave our jobs and fully commit to building Dental Robotics.
Can you briefly describe your project and where it stood when you entered Venture Kick?
Dental Robotics develops a 3-in-1 ultra-lightweight mobile dental hygiene system that enables dental care anywhere, without a fixed practice.
When we entered Venture Kick, we had validated the proof of concept, developed detailed CAD designs and functional 3D-printed models, and assessed technical feasibility. We had also conducted extensive user interviews, defined our initial target market, built a structured business plan, and secured early traction through a signed LOI.
How has the direction of your product/service/product strategy changed since working with the Venture Kick Team?
Venture Kick helped us sharpen our focus. We initially pursued hardware and software in parallel, but clarified that hardware is our core product, with a dental hygiene CRM as a complementary layer.
We also structured recurring revenue streams around consumables and service, strengthening scalability. Most importantly, we shifted from a broad vision to disciplined, milestone-driven execution.
How will the Stage 2 funding help you advance your project concretely?
Stage 2 funding allows us to refine the MVP engineering and further develop the user-journey-driven design. We’re focusing on optimizing the clinical workflow and strengthening the overall product positioning.
At the same time, we’ll invest in high-quality visual materials and engage more directly with potential customers to build traction, close our pre-seed round, and move into full prototype development.
