Hospitality technology specialist Flae Robotics has raised approximately €1 million in seed funding.
Purple Ventures and Garage Angels provided the investment, which will be used to accelerate product development, recruitment and geographic expansion.
Flae expanded into Germany and Austria earlier this year following its launch in the U.K. in September 2025. The company also plans to enter the U.S. market.
The company said its artificial intelligence (AI) hospitality agent, BE-A, is being used by more than 60 hotels across the UK, Germany and the Czech Republic.
The platform handled approximately 265,000 messages and voice interactions across nearly 160,000 conversations in July and August 2026, according to Flae.
“Hotel teams handle a large volume of repetitive enquiries and tasks every day across email, phone and other channels,” said Filip Linek, founder and CEO of Flae. “We are developing BE-A to go beyond answering questions and carry out the next step within hotel systems. This gives staff more time for guests and situations that need their experience and judgement.”
“We invested in Flae Robotics because BE-A is already solving a very real problem for hotels and proving its value in day-to-day operations,” said Jan Davídek, general partner at Purple Ventures.
