BRU: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)

BRU AG was founded in 2019 and is based in Zurich. We produce and sell automated, smart, user-friendly tea making machines for brewing fresh, full-taste tea using either loose-leaf or tea bags, providing a high quality, quick and convenient solution for tea drinkers. The innovative BRU Maker solves the problems involved with the time consuming, messy and often wasteful business of tea-making, and replaces it with a seamless, more sustainable and effortlessly repeatable process. Our smart home, integration IoT, app-connected tea machine with patented technology is the only one on the market to work with any kind of tea.

About FundedIQ's BRU Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for BRU is left off this page rather than filled in.
