About Robert Fink
Press coverage of the Zeit AI seed round identifies Robert Fink as the CTO of Helsing. This is the only operating role named in the sources found for this profile.
His earlier career, education and any companies he founded were not found in public sources we could confirm. Those details are left out here rather than guessed. A LinkedIn profile for a different Robert Fink (Atlanta, Sarral) appeared in search and has not been used.
The one angel investment we could confirm is Zeit AI. Coverage of the round lists him among the business angels, along with Christian Lindner, Mario Götze, Charlie Songhurst and Martin Schoeller. The round was reported on September 3, 2026. Other press coverage describes operators such as Songhurst and Fink as adding relationships beyond Germany's industrial mid-market.
We found no public Crunchbase-style list of other angel deals, and no stated number of investments.
Zeit AI is a Munich company founded in 2024 and part of Y Combinator's S24 batch. It builds ZeitMind, an AI agent that pulls data from many source systems, cleans and integrates it, and produces reports, alerts and applications for mid-sized and industrial companies. Its founders are CEO Leopold von Waldthausen and CTO Marvin Bornstein.
The seed round was EUR 5.0M ($5.8M on the Lounge deals desk). Other investors include Y Combinator, Oxford Seed Fund, Hasso Plattner VC, the Sequoia Capital Scout Fund and ACE Ventures. Fink's individual check size was not disclosed.
The public evidence is a single seed-stage investment in an enterprise AI and data infrastructure company in Germany. That is too little to state a stated thesis, preferred stage range, geography or check size. He has made no public statements we could find about what he looks for in founders or how much he invests. Founders should treat any broader claim about his focus as unconfirmed.
