Isometric has closed a $40 million Series A to expand its AI certification platform across the $350 billion industrial certification market. The round is led by AVP, which counts global insurer AXA as an anchor investor. All of Isometric’s existing institutional investors, including Lowercarbon Capital and Plural, joined the round, with personal investment from Kleiner Perkins chairman John Doerr and Walter Kortschak.
AI, automation, and decarbonization are driving the largest industrial buildout in decades. But every one of these projects needs to be certified against regulatory, safety, and sustainability standards before a buyer pays a premium, before a regulator grants a permit, or before an investor commits capital. For decades, certification has been a bottleneck: a manual process that typically takes months. Isometric uses AI to do it in hours.
Transforming the Certification Process
Isometric's platform, Certify, uses AI agents to ingest and cross-check the millions of data points behind a claim, from sensor readings and satellite data to supply chain records and lab results, flagging discrepancies and surfacing the cases that need expert judgment. In the past, third-party auditors would typically spot-check a sample of the evidence and infer the rest. Now they have a suite of AI agents working alongside them around the clock, replacing partial checks with complete coverage.
Isometric proved this technology in the carbon removal industry, where it is now the largest certification company globally, having been contracted to certify over 16 million tonnes to date. It’s trusted by customers including Microsoft, Anglo American, JPMorganChase, and Boeing, supports more than 200 industrial projects, and was the first in carbon removal to be accredited by ICVCM, ICROA, and CORSIA. It employs the largest team of carbon removal scientists and engineers of any certifier, the foundation of both its scientific rigor and the AI technology behind its platform.
Building a Unified Certification Platform
Isometric was founded in 2022 by Eamon Jubbawy, co-founder of Onfido, the AI-powered identity certification company that verified over one billion identities and caught 25 million fraudsters prior to its acquisition by Entrust for $650 million. He founded Isometric to apply the same rigor and speed to environmental and industrial certification.
Eamon Jubbawy, Founder and CEO, Isometric:
“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.”
Certification today is fragmented across dozens of registries and certifiers, from legacy testing-and-inspection giants to single-sector standards bodies, each with its own methods, formats, and quality standards. Isometric is bringing it onto a single platform, held to a single standard, and publishing all certificates on a single public registry.
Backing Future Growth
The round gives Isometric the strongest balance sheet of any certifier in carbon markets and will be used to accelerate its AI-enabled services expansion.
Blair McDougall, Minister for Economic Transformation:
“Isometric is exactly the kind of frontier AI success story we want to see built and scaled in the UK - turning world‑leading ideas into global businesses that attract top international investment.”
“This investment shows how, with the right support to access talent and scale, Britain can be the best place in the world to grow the next generation of world-changing companies.”
François Robinet, Managing Partner, AVP:
“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. We’re thrilled to partner with them as they scale that vision.”
