Sebastian brings venture capital and operational experience from roles including managing director at InMotion Ventures, partner at KOMPAS VC, and co-founder of Digital Science. He also brings board and advisory experience from companies such as Material Evolution and THE OUT.
Sam is a principal at InMotion Ventures, focusing on enterprise and industrial investments. He previously held expansion roles at Via and worked in strategy, partnerships, and finance at BP.
The company completed an $18.5m total Seed round with backing from Cambridge Innovation Capital, UP.Partners, Insight Partners, and InMotion Ventures.
"Engineering teams require ever-faster, more flexible simulation, but do not have the technology to deliver on these demands. Generative physics introduces a fundamentally new approach to engineering, unlocking innovation across fields ranging from aerospace and automotive to data-centre design. We now have the capital and investor support to accelerate our research roadmap and scale commercial adoption. This could be the ChatGPT moment for physics."
The seed round was led by Lakestar to accelerate development and international deployment.
"Everything around us is manufactured, from the mug on your desk to the optical cables carrying our Netflix binges. Everyone talks about the glamorous side of manufacturing: generative design, material discovery, digital twins, but few spend time on the factory floor. The hard part isn’t dreaming things up inside a computer; it’s making them work at scale. Manufacturing still runs on human know-how, the kind that lets someone on the line kick a machine just right, or run a finger over a scratch, and say, ‘that’s thirty-four microns wide.’ We’re using AI to capture and scale that tacit knowledge, so engineers can design things that actually work in the real world. It’s time to manufacture the impossible."
The investment was backed by QED Investors, VentureFriends, InMotion Ventures, AlleyCorp, and u.ventures to accelerate market expansion.
"We are incredibly excited about this new investment. It’s a testament to the hard work of our team and the clear value we bring to car buyers by doing things differently."
