Exclaim Robotics

Autonomous robots that perform physical maintenance and repair inside live AI data centers.
Exclaim Robotics is a Zurich, Switzerland-based robotics startup building autonomous mobile robots that perform hands-on maintenance and repair inside live AI data centers -- navigating a data hall, locating a rack, and working the front face from floor to top rail to clean and replace fibre-optic connectors, SFPs, copper cabling, and failed drives in 800-volt racks without building modifications. Founded by Helen Oleynikova (PhD, ETH Zurich; previously NVIDIA, Google, and Microsoft), who left ETH in January 2026 to build the company full-time. Exclaim emerged from stealth in August 2026 with a $4.95M (~EUR4.29M) pre-seed round co-led by Founderful and Playfair Capital.
