Multiverse Computing raises $570M Series C at $2.3B valuation

Its quantum-inspired tech shrinks AI models by up to 95%, betting compression beats scale in the AI infrastructure race.

• Multiverse Computing closed a $570M Series C, lifting its valuation to roughly $2.3B post-money, co-led by Forgepoint Capital International, BNP Paribas Solar Impulse Venture Fund, and Bullhound Capital.
• The San Sebastián-based startup builds CompactifAI, a quantum-inspired compression technology that squeezes large language models to run cheaper, faster, and on smaller devices instead of data centers.
• The new valuation is five times higher than Multiverse's Series B, and the company has now raised roughly $800M across its two most recent rounds.
• Multiverse says revenue grew 96x year-over-year in Q1 2026, with annualized revenue up more than 10x since its June 2025 Series B.
• Spanish outlets describe the deal as the largest private funding round ever closed in Spain and the country's first new unicorn since Factorial in 2022.
• Multiverse plans to use the capital to expand its efficient-model library and build out sovereign AI operations in East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Canada, and the U.S.
• The round is a bet that shrinking AI models, rather than scaling them, could loosen the industry's dependence on hyperscale cloud compute.
