Series B
$170M

EQT Growth and General Catalyst led the Series B financing, which includes equity and debt facilities to support further agency acquisitions.

"Dwelly is AI-first by default: we assume AI should be able to do every operational task. That changes what a lettings agent can be. AI takes over the transactional layer, while our people become world-class advisors to landlords and tenants"
— Ilya Drozdov, Co-founder and CEO
Series B
$135M

The London startup secured capital from Atomico and strategic investors to expand internationally and develop advanced foundation models.

"The tectonic plates of the whole global economy are being reshaped by industrial manufacturing. Geopolitical currents and the questions of sovereignty and supply chain resilience are most strongly felt here. At the same time, innovation within these fields has never been more urgent. We’re building into that unmet need,"
— Jacomo Corbo, CEO
$70.0M

The strategic funding round values the workforce transformation company at $2.1bn.

"There are companies who desperately need the benefits AI can bring. There are AI companies. What has been missing is the layer that bridges the two. This investment marks the moment Multiverse defines that category, and takes it across Europe. Getting outcomes from AI and unlocking productivity is not just a technology problem. It is a people problem. We exist to solve it,"
— Euan Blair
