LinkedInThe funding round was led by IQ Capital with participation from new industrial investors including 212 NexT and Driventure.
"This funding accelerates our transition into a new era where AI agents leave the screen and enter the factory floor."
The London software firm has secured backing from IQ Capital and Nikon to expand its automated manufacturing platform globally.
"Despite its clear economic and environmental benefits, manufacturers have difficulty implementing additive manufacturing at an industrial scale. This is due to concerns about its reliability and ease of adoption. We believe that automation and smart use of data is the solution to this problem. By partnering with Nikon as a leading technology provider who has a grand vision for the future of manufacturing, and IQ Capital as a deep-tech investor with proven track record of supporting global businesses, we are well positioned to achieve our goal for automating the factories of the future."
The Series A round was led by Conviction with participation from numerous strategic and venture capital investors.
"The response from businesses to the capabilities of synthetic data has been huge. Enabling our customers to access and actually use their data unlocks real commercial value. Hazy has been working in the generative AI field since our inception in 2017 and we are excited to see where the space goes. This funding will solidify our position as the leading synthetic data provider for enterprises to unlock value through their data and enable us to explore the greater potential of generative AI to produce real results for businesses, with no privacy limitations."
The Series A round was led by ACT Venture Partners and SuperSeed to scale operations and product development.
"We were thrilled with the team’s achievements in developing and validating their platform with leading global customers from the automotive, aerospace, energy and construction sectors. Ai Build’s clear vision to enable faster, repeatable and sustainable additive manufacturing through AI and automation is a game changer in scaling production, and making Ai Build the default operating system for all additive machines will be key in their growth strategy"
