How Bosch works with startups
Open Bosch is Bosch’s venture client unit, buying from startups since 2018. With over 300 active projects across the group, a pilot here is routine, not an experiment. The pace shows it: from first contact to a paid pilot in about three weeks, purchasing included. Startups sell to Bosch as a customer, not an investor.
