BeyondMath, a London-based deep tech firm developing a “generative physics model” to conduct engineering simulations, has raised $10m (£7.4m) in a seed extension round.
The extension brings the company’s completed seed round to a total of £13.8m.
BeyondMath was founded by ex-Google employees as a way to provide advanced engineering teams the ability to generate realistic physics-based simulations in minutes.
One such example saw the company work with Honeywell, wherein it created a tool to enable the simulation of hundreds of iterations for complex aircraft components in seconds.
“Engineering teams require ever-faster, more flexible simulation, but do not have the technology to deliver on these demands,” said Alan Patterson, chief executive of BeyondMath.
“Generative physics introduces a fundamentally new approach to engineering, unlocking innovation across fields ranging from aerospace and automotive to data-centre design.”
The extension round was led by Cambridge Innovation Capital, alongside existing investors including UP.Partners, Insight Partners, and InMotion Ventures.
“We now have the capital and investor support to accelerate our research roadmap and scale commercial adoption. This could be the ChatGPT moment for physics,” said Edward Inns, principal at Cambridge Innovation Capital.
“BeyondMath is tackling one of the hardest and most valuable problems in engineering.
“By combining first-principles physics with modern AI, the team has built a platform that can redefine how complex systems are designed across multiple industries. We look forward to supporting Alan, Darren and the team as they continue to scale.”
