Isometric raises over £30m to expand AI certification platform

Isometric has closed a $40m (£30.3m) Series A round to expand its AI certification platform across the industrial sector. 

London-based Isometric’s AI agents work alongside human verifiers, reviewing data points and operating in place of slow, manual reviews in sectors spanning from carbon removal and super pollutant reduction to low carbon energy, fuels and materials.

AI, automation and decarbonisation are driving the industrial buildout, but every project needs to be certified against regulatory, safety and sustainability standards.

Isometric says for decades, certification has been a bottleneck – a manual process that typically takes months. 

The startup’s platform, Certify, uses AI agents to cross-check the millions of data points behind a claim, from sensor readings and satellite data to supply chain records and lab results, flagging discrepancies and surfacing the cases that need expert judgement.

The Series A was led by AVP and had participation from all of Isometric’s existing institutional investors, including Lowercarbon Capital and Plural. The funding also includes personal investment from Kleiner Perkins chairman John Doerr, and Walter Kortschak. 

The round will be used to accelerate Isometric’s AI-enabled services expansion.

“For decades, the certification industry faced a trade off between speed and rigour – do it fast or do it right,” says Eamon Jubbawy, founder and CEO at Isometric.

“With Isometric, industrial companies can get both. AI agents are here, and they’re making the certification process instant and invisible, unleashing the potential of the industrial economy.”
