Roboze, a manufacturing technology company developing advanced production platforms for mission-critical industries, today announced an investment from Rule 1 Ventures, a U.S. venture capital firm focused on defense and national security technologies. The investment will support Roboze’s expansion of distributed manufacturing infrastructure, enabling governments and industrial operators to produce critical components closer to the point of need.
Roboze’s platform integrates high-performance additive manufacturing hardware, proprietary materials science, software-driven process intelligence and embedded Physical AI to deliver reliable production of complex parts for aerospace, defense, energy and other strategic sectors.
“We are proud to welcome Rule 1 Ventures and this exceptional group of investors to Roboze,” said Alessio Lorusso, founder and CEO of Roboze. “Modern industrial resilience requires more than machines — it requires a complete manufacturing platform that combines hardware, materials science and intelligent software. Our mission is to build the infrastructure that allows critical industries to produce advanced components wherever they are needed.”
Rule 1 Ventures is led by national security leaders including James A. Winnefeld Jr., a retired four-star admiral and former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Todd Ehrlich, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and defense entrepreneur. The firm invests in technologies designed to strengthen operational readiness and industrial capacity.
