Warsaw-based venture capital fund Market One Capital has joined a $9.5 million seed investment round in MetaGravity. It’s a London-based firm creating the technical foundation for a scalable and decentralised metaverse, Tech.eu reports.

• Founded in 2021 by Rashid Mansoor and Tobin Ireland, MetaGravity is a deeptech startup that is solving the issue of distributed compute infrastructure required to support metaverse-scale gaming. The company says it will offer unlimited scale of supporting more than 1 million concurrent players (CCUs) plus associated AI and interactive objects.

“MetaGravity’s proprietary IP has the potential to completely change the possibilities the metaverse holds. Its next-generation technology is unconstrained by the mathematical limitations of existing infrastructure, delivered in a cost-efficient and flexible way. The best and brightest metaverse simulations of the future will be built on MetaGravity’s next-generation platform,”

Ian Wittkopp, Chief Operating Officer at Sino Global Capital, comments.
