London's Isometric raises €34M Series A to scale AI certification across industrial markets

London-based Isometric has closed a €34 million ($40 million) Series A to expand its AI certification platform across the industrial economy. The round was led by AVP, with existing institutional investors Lowercarbon Capital and Plural joining, alongside personal investment from Kleiner Perkins chairman John Doerr and Walter Kortschak.

Speed and rigour, not speed or rigour

Isometric's pitch is that certification has always forced a choice between doing things fast and doing them right. Its 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 only the cases that need expert human judgment.

Founder and CEO Eamon Jubbawy frames the company as eliminating that compromise: "AI agents are here, and they're making the certification process instant and invisible." Jubbawy previously co-founded Onfido, the AI-powered identity-verification company that checked more than a billion identities before its acquisition by Entrust — a background in turning verification into software that runs underneath everything else.

From carbon removal outward

Isometric cut its teeth in carbon removal, where it is now the largest certification company globally, having been contracted to certify over 16 million tonnes to date. It counts Microsoft, Anglo American, JPMorganChase and Boeing among its customers and supports more than 200 industrial projects.

The Series A is about widening that beachhead. Isometric is targeting the broader €305 billion ($350 billion) industrial certification market, where AI, automation and decarbonisation are driving the largest industrial build-out in decades — and where every project needs to be certified against regulatory, safety and sustainability standards before money moves. François Robinet, Managing Partner at AVP, called the agentic platform "genuinely category-defining."

It sits inside a wider 2026 pattern of AI-enabled compliance and verification infrastructure, a slice of the market where the UK — home to Isometric and peers like Cocoon Carbon and Outpost — has been notably active.
