London’s MetaGravity ropes in $9.5M to build, interoperable, decentralised compute infrastructure for metaverse
MetaGravity, a London-based provider of the next-generation virtual world and metaverse infrastructure, has raised $9.5M in a Seed round of funding from Sino Global, Spartan Group LLC (also backed Gunzilla Games), Market One Capital, and several other investors. The UK company will use the funds to expand its engineering and product teams to develop the infrastructure layer required to support massive metaverse experiences in the future. Founded by Rashid Mansoor (CEO) and Tobin Ireland (CBO), MetaGravity is building the distributed compute infrastructure for metaverse gaming and virtual world simulations. “MetaGravity’s mission is to create the base cosmology to birth the Metaverse – i.e. to re-invent the laws of virtual physics,” said Mansoor. “Using our deep knowledge of massively parallel compute and engine technologies, we’re creating the technical foundation for a scalable and decentralised metaverse. By going back to first principles and taking a completely fresh approach to concurrency, we have already achieved scale many factors beyond what was previously feasible.”
