Seed
£115M

The financing round was supported by investors including Andreessen Horowitz and SoftBank to develop interoperable Web3 virtual spaces.

"We founded Improbable to make real the promise of incredible online worlds that were more than just games – they were extensions of our lives. I believe the metaverse and Web3 movement, though very early, represent a once-in-a-generation redefinition of our society towards a ‘fulfilment economy’ where experiences made by an open network of creators and businesses can create enormous opportunity for everyone. M² is our contribution to establishing this future and we hope to help our partners catalyse an open metaverse with many participants and success stories. We are excited to be actively working with some of the best investors in the space in building out this new ecosystem."

This funding will help us grow our first-class team and product and accelerate our goal to empower 1 billion citizens to choose products that match their values."
