Big Raise for Tech Trailblazer Improbable
SoftBank Leads a $502 Million Series B Round
In a move that’s set to turbo‑charge the future of immersive digital worlds, British cloud‑computing pioneer Improbable has secured $502 million in Series B funding, with SoftBank taking the helm.
All of the fresh capital will be funneled straight into Improbable’s cornerstone platform: the SpatialOS distributed operating system. The company plans to:
- Ramp up hiring across its London and San Francisco hubs.
- Fuel a thriving ecosystem of developers and customers.
- Expand its reach into massive‑scale simulations and next‑gen gaming.
What the Money Is For
With Distributed Cloud Computing at its core, Improbable empowers creators to build fully fledged virtual worlds—think endless MMORPGs, hyper‑realistic training simulators, and dynamic models of the real world. The new injection of funding will help turn the company’s architectural foundation into the skyline of tomorrow’s digital experience.
CEO Herman Narula Weighs In
“We believe the next big leap in computing will be the rise of large‑scale virtual worlds that not only enrich human experience but also change how we understand reality,” said Herman Narula, Improbable’s CEO.
He added that the past few years have seen the firm painstakingly lay the groundwork for this ambitious vision.
