Seed
$40.0M

Creandum and Union Square Ventures co-led the seed round to support team expansion and computational capacity.

"Intelligence is not so much about what you can already do, it’s about how quickly you can learn to do something new. Humans don’t need to see the same thing over and over before they can do it. If you take some objects, and show somebody what to do with them, they’ll probably then be able to do the same task immediately. We’ve spent years trying to understand what it would take for robots to learn at the speed of a human. That is what instant robot learning is about,"
— Edward Johns, Co-founder and CEO
Series A
£37.5M

Union Square Ventures led the round to support the opening of 25 new manufacturing facilities and international expansion.

"Manufacturing is the origin of our security, prosperity and sense of purpose as nations. This Series A enables us to open more factories, invest in MasonOS, support exceptional franchisees and recruit the best engineers across Europe and the United States. Our mission is to forge industrial acceleration."
— Alexander Fitzgerald
Series A
£11.2M

The investment round was led by Notion Capital and will fund product development and North American expansion.

"In a more challenging software market, SaaS businesses are balancing growth with profitability, making pricing an ever-more valuable lever. Hybrid and usage-based pricing are now firmly in the spotlight because of their ability to deliver better customer experiences while reducing churn and increasing revenue, and as their popularity continues to grow, the opportunity for m3ter is obvious. Today’s funding enables us to take our ambitions to the next level, making new pricing models accessible for every software business that needs them."
— Griffin Parry, CEO and co-founder
