Building

At Improbable, we don’t just invest in ventures — we build them. Whether as investors or through our innovation studio, we co-create companies with founders at the edge of technology, combining capital, expertise, and infrastructure to accelerate bold ideas into scalable companies.

Core Benefits

  • Funding

    Capital is a cornerstone of any successful venture. Without it, your ambitions are limited. We have a proven track record of raising capital and an extensive investor network that can accelerate your business. We’ll guide you through every step of the raising process – to Series A and beyond – offering capital and strategic support.

  • Deep Tech

    Launching a deep tech venture means solving complex industry problems no-one has solved before. We’ve spent over a decade delivering groundbreaking solutions in metaverse tech, web3 and real-world simulations. Work with us to leverage our pioneering tech and develop brand new products and IP to unlock the full potential of your venture.

  • Ecosystems

    We’re building ecosystems of companies in AI transformation, the metaverse and web3. Join us to ease the burden of solving industry-shaping challenges. The network effect will allow you to focus on your unique products, services and customer needs – and forge new partnerships – rather than trying to fix everything for an entire industry.

  • Mentorship

    Building a startup is an exciting journey – but you needn’t go it alone. We’ve been privileged to help dozens of leaders develop business and leadership skills. Work with us to gain mentorship from our founders and wider C-team – seasoned leaders with proven track records who’ll share in the challenges and triumphs as your venture grows.

How We Build Ventures

We support founders from the first spark of inspiration all the way to a rapidly scaling business, and beyond.

  • Work with us to identify and validate high-potential opportunities. Together, we define the opportunity thesis, test key assumptions, and design scalable business models rooted in proven market demand – creating a strong foundation for ventures that solve real problems and capture lasting value.

  • Move fast from idea to finding product-market fit. With our product, design, and engineering teams embedded alongside you, we build and test MVPs, run live pilots, and validate traction in the market – guided by regular reviews and clear performance oversight.

  • Once the thesis is proven, we help establish the new entity, hire leadership, and raise capital. Our venture builder team stays involved through operational support, governance, and access to Improbable’s strategic network – ensuring ventures grow with resilience and clarity

  • When ventures mature, we focus on optimising performance and exploring the best path forward – whether that’s scaling further, retaining strategic control, or pursuing an exit. We remain active partners in governance and long-term growth.

Our Technology Breakthroughs

Improbable has been at the forefront of high-performance computing for over a decade; we continue to develop new ideas with our incubated ventures.

  • Networking

    How data about the world is sent between machines – the required data grows quadratically as you scale up (10x players = 100x more data). Our machine learning, compression techniques and distributed architecture can send billions of messages per second, maintaining full fidelity and ultra-low latency.

  • Rendering

    Using massively parallel GPU computation to draw huge numbers of animated characters in dense crowds on screen, each with unique animation states and potential customisations, while integrating with existing content pipeline so creators can use the tools they’re used to.

  • Spatial Audio

    Virtual worlds that sound like our physical environment: employs advanced signal processing so every participant can hear every other, with full spatialization, occlusion, and air absorption for true immersion.

  • Blockchain

    Data transfer rates of ~20x industry standards enabled by transformative innovations including a custom-built EVM compiler, the ICEdb database for ultra-low latency operations, and novel compression algorithms. 

Open Source & Open Standards

We believe in giving back to the Open Source community as part of creating the foundations for innovation.

 FAQs

  • You run your business. We will then offer as much or as little support as you need in mentorship, advice and fast-moving ‘business in a box’ corporate services, all specifically designed to meet the requirements of your venture.

  • All organisations have different models, but accelerators and incubators tend to be focussed on the initial phases of a startup’s life. By contrast, our model works with businesses from startups all the way to mature companies, provides a range of specialised services and ecosystems to ensure your venture’s success, and is focused on taking you beyond concept stage to market.

  • While VC firms focus on investing capital to generate a return, our approach to building ventures complements that by providing strategic guidance and operational support. Because we focus on a smaller number of companies in three industries – AI transformation, metaverse and web3 – and provide active support, we can work closely with you as a founder to build your business, accelerating its growth and helping you achieve more, faster.

  • Yes. Each of the three ecosystems we are actively developing – AI transformation, metaverse and web3 – has a wealth of prior IP, technology and know-how behind it. We can also work with you to develop specialist products tailored to your unique business goals and needs.

  • Yes. We’re looking to build active partnerships where we can collaborate to create shared value. By taking an ownership stake and combining this with our approach that’s about contributing more than just capital, we align our interests more fully with yours and demonstrate every kind of commitment to your long-term success.
