London’s Isometric has raised €34 million (about $40 million) in a Series A to scale its AI-driven certification platform across industrial markets, backing a push beyond carbon removal into broader industrial verification needs. The round was led by AVP with participation from existing investors Lowercarbon Capital and Plural, plus personal investments from John Doerr and Walter Kortschak. Isometric’s platform, Certify, uses AI agents to ingest and cross-check sensor data, satellite imagery, supply-chain records and lab results—aiming to replace slow, sample-based audits with near–real-time, full-coverage verification.
Isometric says it already certifies more than 16 million tonnes of carbon removal across 200+ projects and counts clients such as Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Boeing and Anglo American, giving it an established record to expand from carbon into other industrial certification areas. The company targets a global industrial certification market BCG estimates at roughly €305–€350 billion, positioning Certify to speed permits, investment releases and buyer claims by reducing timelines from months to hours.
Certify runs agentic AI that flags discrepancies and surfaces only high-risk cases for human experts, combining automated checks with targeted human judgment to preserve rigor while raising speed and scale. Isometric’s stated next targets include superpollutant reduction and low-carbon fuels, materials and energy certifications, aiming to unify fragmented registries and standards on a single public registry.
