Overview

Zürich-based robotics startup building autonomous mobile robots to perform routine repair and maintenance work inside AI data centres. Founded in 2026 by Helen Oleynikova, a robotics veteran with 15 years across NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft, and ETH Zürich, Exclaim targets the physical maintenance layer of data centres as rack power densities and 800V DC infrastructure make manual servicing increasingly hazardous. The company exited stealth in August 2026 with a pre-seed round co-led by Founderful and Playfair Capital.
