Industrial certification provider Isometric announced that it has raised $40 million in a Series A funding round, as the company seeks to extend its AI-powered certification platform, focused to date primarily on carbon markets, across the industrial economy.
According to Isometric, the new funding comes as industrial sectors face growing complexity in certification and compliance processes, with AI, automation, and decarbonization projects often assessed across a fragmented landscape of registries, certifiers, and standards bodies, each employing different methodologies, formats, and quality requirements.
London-based Isometric was launched in 2022 by identity certification company Onfido co-founder Eamon Jubbawy, to target environmental and industrial certification, with an initial focus on carbon markets. The company operates a public carbon removal registry that enables buyers and suppliers to access project data, protocols, and issued carbon removal certificates. The platform provides transparency into key carbon removal attributes, including durability, additionality, uncertainty, and net carbon impact, with project and certification information available for public review. The company also offers certification solutions spanning superpollutant reduction, low-carbon energy, fuels, and materials.
Isometric’s certification platform, Certify, uses AI agents to analyze and cross-check millions of data points behind a certification claim, from sensor readings and satellite data to supply chain records and lab results, flagging discrepancies and surfacing the cases that need expert judgment. The platform is designed to identify discrepancies and surface issues requiring expert review, enabling auditors to move beyond traditional sample-based assessments toward more comprehensive verification.
Isometric said that the new capital will support its expansion into the $350 billion global certification market, spanning regulatory compliance, safety standards, and sustainability requirements across industrial sectors.
Eamon Jubbawy, CEO and founder of Isometric said:
“For decades the certification industry faced a tradeoff between speed and rigor. Do it fast or do it right. With Isometric, industrial companies can get both. AI agents are here, and they’re making the certification process instant and invisible, unleashing the potential of the industrial economy.”
The financing round was led by AVP, formerly AXA Venture Partners, whose anchor investor is global insurer AXA, and included participation from all existing institutional investors, including Lowercarbon Capital and Plural, alongside personal investments from Kleiner Perkins chairman John Doerr and former Managing Director of Summit Partners Walter Kortschak.
François Robinet, Managing Partner at AVP said:
“Certification has always forced a choice between speed and rigor. Isometric has eliminated that compromise. Eamon and the team have built a genuinely category-defining company, and their agentic AI platform has the potential to transform certification across the industrial economy.”
