Since its launch at the start of January 2025, Posha has made huge waves. This cutting-edge countertop cooking robot is all about making meal prep easier for everyone. Initially called Nymble, the company had a pivot after entering Bosch’s accelerator program. In response, they redesigned their initial idea of a robotic arm. This strategic pivot opened up a new lane for Posha to create an entirely customizable and user-friendly cooking experience.
The Posha robotic kitchen adapts to your individual cooking needs and preferences. With just a few simple ingredient swaps you can be on your way to deliciousness while saving $$! Its forgiving design means that even the most inaccurate ingredient measurer can still experience consistent success. And right now, Posha is running a super—super—introductory price of $1,750. The company sells direct-to-consumer and is counting on word-of-mouth marketing to help spread the news about their innovative new device.
Posha’s initial run sold out in a flash. This success didn’t stop the company from quickly moving to start accepting pre-orders for a second batch of robots. The overwhelming demand illustrates the incredible appetite consumers have for every opportunity to improve their cooking productivity. Raghav Gupta, the founder of Posha, identified a personal need for easy access to home-cooked meals without investing excessive time in the kitchen.
“We have been super focused and super obsessed with customers from day one,” – Raghav Gupta.
Gupta explained that a lot of potential customers are already investing significant time in the kitchen. He stated, “These people are already spending an hour in the kitchen every single day, deciding what to eat, shopping for ingredients, cooking a meal, [and] cleaning up afterwards.” The Posha robot removes the stress from your cooking schedule. It reduces your cooking time by a minimum of 70%, reducing your daily active time to only 10 to 20 minutes!
Along with this impressive product launch debut, Posha locked down an $8 million Series A funding round led by Accel. This round drew in participation from its existing investors, including Xeed Ventures and Waterbridge Ventures as well as Alibaba cofounder and Indian entrepreneur Binny Bansal. The new funding will allow Posha to further grow its product and develop the customer journey.
The company has clearly identified its core audiences. These ambitious cooks who prepare dinner on average two to six times per week would like to make their home meal experience a little easier. Combining immersive experiences with artificial intelligence, the Posha robot uses computer vision technology to create automated cooking. It makes sure that each meal is created with extreme care and detail.
Gupta described his optimistic vision for the future of kitchen tech. He pointed to the historical parallels of today’s countertop devices with previously developed innovations like microwaves, dishwashers, and refrigerators. He remarked, “If you look at your microwave, your dishwasher, your refrigerator, at some point in time, these devices were countertop devices.” This image is an expression of that vision, as Gupta thinks of Posha as part of a reimagined everyday kitchen.
The company continues to make progress with a singular focus on their goal. It looks to continue improving its products with customer feedback and further establish itself in the booming culinary technology space. The early popularity of Posha signals a wider movement toward the intersection of technology and convenience in our cooking practices.
