Multiverse Computing, a Spanish technology player, has reached a significant financial milestone by raising $570 million in a major Series C funding round. These funds are intended to scale its energy-efficient software globally.
Company Valuation and Investors
The deal, led by Forgepoint Capital International, BNPP Solar Impulse Venture Fund, and Bullhound Capital, values the San Sebastián-based company at $1.7 billion pre-money. Additional participants in the round include HP Inc., Orange Ventures, Scania Invest, and Santander.
AI Innovations
Multiverse Computing has gained a reputation for challenging the common belief that powerful artificial intelligence requires massive data centers and colossal energy consumption. Co-founders Enrique Lizaso and Dr. Roman Orus created CompactifAI to change the approach to working with software models in business. This software uses tensor networks to compress large language models, reducing their size by 80% to 95% while maintaining overall accuracy.
Thanks to these sophisticated tools, it is now possible to run them on local processors, avoiding huge electricity bills. CEO Enrique Lizaso emphasized that businesses no longer have to rely solely on expensive cloud data centers to achieve high performance.
Local Data Processing
Running software on local hardware offers significant advantages to modern corporations. Complete dependence on remote cloud servers leads to latency issues, high costs, and serious privacy risks. Multiverse eliminates this bottleneck by placing compressed intelligence directly onto edge devices. Now, smartphones, autonomous vehicles, industrial cameras, and satellites can perform complex tasks without an active internet connection.
Major companies such as Bosch, Telefónica, Allianz, and the Bank of Canada are already implementing these solutions to optimize daily operations. The software also includes an intelligent router that determines whether a task should be executed locally on the phone or sent to a cloud server, thereby saving computational power at every stage.
Global Growth Strategy
The injection of $570 million in the Series C will actively support Multiverse's global growth strategy. The company plans to establish specialized hubs in North America, the Middle East, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. The goal is to deliver green computing tools directly to local commercial centers. A significant portion of the capital will also be directed towards supporting sovereign AI projects, as governments and corporate clients require software platforms to be hosted on their own territory to comply with strict regional laws.
Multiverse provides an operating system layer that helps regional mega-factories function efficiently without dependence on foreign cloud providers. The commercial momentum supports this strategic leap. Since the Series B round in 2025, Multiverse's annual revenue has grown more than tenfold, and sales in the first quarter of 2026 increased by 96 times compared to the previous year, making it one of Europe's fastest-growing deep tech companies.
