About Rajat Bhageria

Rajat Bhageria splits his time between running Prototype Capital and building Chef Robotics himself, and got into venture investing after selling a startup he built as a student for visually impaired users, which led him to start a fund focused on backing other young founders. He tends to gravitate toward hard, unglamorous problems like food-manufacturing robotics rather than typical software, has written about the importance of empathy when building products for people unlike himself, and has also written a book about how schools can stifle creativity while encouraging students to build and sell their own projects early.

Avg Check Size

PROTOTYPE is a Europe-focused venture fund led by former product and engineering leader Andreas Klinger that backs early-stage founders—even before their idea is a finished company—working on robotics, automation, manufacturing, and physical AI, investing across the full supply chain from motors and sensors to power electronics because it sees that stack as key to keeping these industries based in Europe. The fund stands out for publicly sharing its performance updates and reporting strong early results, with its funds ranking in the top 1–5% of their peer groups.
