Multiverse Computing targeting up to $570M in latest round

Multiverse Computing, a Spanish scaleup focused on AI efficiency, is currently raising up to $570 million in a new funding round. This latest capital injection values the company at $1.7 billion, representing a five-fold increase from its previous Series B valuation. The round is co-led by Forgepoint Capital International, BNPP SIVF, and Bullhound Capital, with additional support from investors including Santander Alternative Investments and Scania Invest.

The company specializes in technology that shrinks Large Language Models to make them viable for edge devices. By using principles derived from quantum physics, their flagship product, CompactifAI, reportedly reduces model size by 80 to 95 percent without significant accuracy loss. This approach shifts data processing from large, energy-intensive data centers directly to mobile phones, drones, and smart cameras.

This operational model addresses the growing market demand for cheaper, more energy-efficient AI compute. Multiverse Computing has secured a broad range of enterprise partners across diverse sectors such as finance, manufacturing, and defense. Notable clients include Bosch, Allianz, and the Bank of Canada, indicating that the technology is already moving from experimental development into active industrial deployment.

Damien Henault of Forgepoint Capital International notes that the company has shifted its position from a compression provider to a complete AI foundry and operating system. With this latest funding, the startup expects its total lifetime funding to reach approximately $800 million. As the industry looks toward decentralized AI processing, Multiverse Computing is positioning its quantum-inspired platform as a necessary infrastructure layer for future hardware.
