About Konnex World

Konnex World provides a decentralized, onchain marketplace that enables autonomous systems, such as robots and drones, to contract with each other, license AI capabilities, and settle payments. The company's framework is designed to transition robotics from closed, proprietary systems into a more fluid, app-like ecosystem where physical work can be verified and monetized. This is intended to address the lack of a standardized method for contracting, verifying, and paying for robotic tasks without intermediaries.

The company was founded in the US in 2025 and is also registered in the British Virgin Islands. In January 2026, Konnex World announced it had raised $15 million in a funding round with participation from venture capital firms including Cogitent Ventures, Liquid Capital, Leland Ventures, Covey, LD Capital, M77 Ventures, and Block Maven LLC. The stated goal for the capital is to expand the platform, integrate with new hardware partners, and further develop its verification protocols for autonomous systems.

The business operates on a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model, where its protocol verifies task outcomes onchain and settles payments in stablecoins. Konnex's core technology creates a neutral market where robots can agree on jobs, license AI intelligence on demand, and prove outcomes to automatically unlock payments. The platform targets sectors such as transportation, logistics, and manufacturing with clients in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. Revenue is generated through a subscription-based model that provides clients with access to its tools, including software updates and technical support, with tiered pricing available.

The leadership team includes CEO Jon Ollwerther, a veteran in the robotics and media industries. Strategic supporters and advisors include Brandon Torres Declet, who has multiple successful exits in the drone sector and is the CEO of Exyn Technologies, and Lucas Van Oostrum, a drone-swarm and multi-robot coordination expert.
