Wilkinson Baking Company, a Walla Walla, Wash.-based creator of a fully-automated commercial bread baking robot, closed a $3.0m seed funding.
The round was led by Ken Peterson of Columbia Ventures Corporation, along with Rich Product Ventures (“RPV”). Several angel investors also participated.
Funds will primarily be used to build and deploy additional BreadBots.
Led by Paul Rhynard, CEO, Wilkinson Baking Company provides a commercial bread-baking robot named the BreadBot™. After several years of in-market pilots at seven grocery stores, in July 2022, the company deployed their first commercial-ready BreadBot™ into Andy’s Market in College Place, Wash. It is manufacturing and assembling additional BreadBots™ and expects to have 20 units deployed by early 2023.
