MetaGravity raises $9.5m in a seed round led by Sino Global, Spartan Group, and Market One Capital to build metaverse infrastructure

London-based metaverse infrastructure provider MetaGravity has secured $9.5m in a seed funding round led by Sino Global, Spartan Group, and Market One Capital, alongside other investors. The company will direct the capital towards expanding its engineering and product teams to build out its foundational infrastructure layer.

The freshly raised funds will support MetaGravity in scaling its platform to accommodate over one million concurrent users while improving cloud compute efficiency and integrating with existing game engines. The technology aims to provide game developers with arbitrary scale and cloud cost efficiencies for virtual world simulations.

Founders Rashid Mansoor and Tobin Ireland established the business to tackle the computational limits of current virtual environments. Backers noted the strategic importance of scalable infrastructure for mass consumer adoption of the metaverse.
