Matroid Completes $20 Million Series B Financing to Expand into Manufacturing and Industrial IOT

We are proud to announce that Matroid has raised $20M in Series B funding led by Energize Ventures with participation from existing investors New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Intel Capital, and others. The new financing brings our total funding to $33.5 million.

We will leverage this additional  funding to accelerate product development and go-to-market expansion in manufacturing, industrial IOT (IIOT), and video security markets. Matroid enables non-software organizations to harness the power of software-defined sensors that are critical for many enterprises, federal agencies, and public safety organizations. With Matroid, these companies can expand the scope of their deployments, easily building video and machine learning pipelines in a manner of minutes, not months. Building on the enterprise success of its product, Matroid plans to leverage the new funding to accelerate product development and go-to-market expansion in manufacturing, industrial IOT (IIOT), and video security markets. Within manufacturing and IIOT, Energize’s corporate investors include General Electric, Schneider Electric, Caterpillar, Invenergy, and others.
