In a sector where public authorities and engineering firms face growing budget constraints and limited access to affordable tools, infrastructure management is ripe for transformation. Traditional methods for road assessment and maintenance often rely on expensive, time-consuming processes that require technical expertise, making them inaccessible to many stakeholders. Offroad addresses these challenges with its innovative hardware and software solution for automated scanning of road infrastructure. Its technology is designed to generate accurate digital twins with a topographic precision of 2cm, while eliminating logistical complexity. At the heart of its solution are two key technological pillars : 

• the Brainkit, a cutting-edge data capture system that utilizes LiDAR and cameras to collect detailed information directly from the field. 
• A patented post-processing system that merges the captured data, transforming it into actionable insights and integrating it seamlessly into client tools.

With this funding, Offroad aims at scaling its impact and accelerating its growth. The company plans to launch production of its next-generation "Brainkit V2", allowing public and private clients to capture data independently. They will also continue developing the platform, with the addition of a dedicated client interface for analyzing topographic outputs. To further fuel its expansion, the company aims to strengthen its commercial team, to increase their focus on the public sector through new partnerships and bids for public tenders.

At Axeleo Capital, we believe Offroad’s technology and AI-driven platform offer a scalable, transformative solution to the growing challenges in infrastructure management. By enabling stakeholders to manage road networks with unprecedented efficiency and precision, Offroad is positioned to become a leader in this critical sector. 

The founding team — Pierre-Adrien Nadal (CEO), Valentin Schwartz (COO), and Axel Barrau (CTO) — brings complementary expertise and a shared passion for infrastructure management. Pierre-Adrien, a graduate of École Polytechnique, worked as an R&D Manager at Sonoscanner before serving as Technical and Innovation Director at Aximum (Colas Group), where the idea for Offroad was born. Valentin is a mechanical engineer from Polytech Lille and spent 4.5 years at Colas modernizing tools for surveyors, where he met Pierre-Adrien. Axel, also an École Polytechnique alumnus, brings 6 years of experience at Safran, specializing in data fusion for scanning and navigation systems.

 We are thrilled to support Offroad as it accelerates its mission to deliver smarter, more sustainable solutions for infrastructure management. Congratulations to the entire team on this exciting milestone — we look forward to supporting you on this transformative journey !
