LinkedInAtomico led the financing alongside Plural, DCVC, and the UK Sovereign AI Fund.
"By integrating Cerebras into Callosum’s platform, we’re making ultra-low-latency inference available exactly where it creates the greatest impact, enabling customers to build AI systems that simply weren’t practical before,"
The Series A round was led by AVP with backing from Plural, Lowercarbon Capital, John Doerr, and Walter Kortschak.
"For decades the certification industry faced a tradeoff between speed and rigour. Do it fast, or do it right. With Isometric, industrial companies can get both"
The funding supports the development of optical networking technology designed to remove electronic switches from data centre cores.
"A year ago, we were proving the physics; today, we’re proving the business. Our collaboration with AMD has moved from concept to deployment to a system an order of magnitude larger, and the data proves this is already driving performance increases at pace,"
The London-based industrial technology company secured funding from Plural and NVentures to scale its non-toxic cooling fluids and modular data centre infrastructure.
"When people imagine a better future, they think about physical things: technologies that give them more freedom, more time, more life. AI will get us there faster. Frontier AI gives us PhD-level expertise across every discipline, meaning small, agile teams can move from materials discovery to commercial hardware in a way that simply wasn't possible before, so what used to take a decade, we can now do in months."
The investment was led by Plural and will fund factory expansion across Europe and the US.
"Today, hardware companies face a tough choice: either spin up their own vertically integrated manufacturing from scratch, or rely on a legacy Western supply chain that’s been decaying for years. CircuitHub is the alternative: providing remote access to a cutting-edge factory through your browser or your AI agent. Just as software companies share cloud compute, hardware companies can now share our Grid."
