Startup Hadean has secured £28 million in funding to build out its metaverse infrastructure technology.

The London company’s tech already supports virtual worlds in immersive entertainment and enterprise digital twins.

Molten Ventures led the Series A round. It was joined by 2050 Capital, Alumni Ventures, Aster Capital, Entrepreneur First and InQTel. Epic Games invested separately.

“Hadean’s computing power will provide the infrastructure that’s needed as we work to create a scalable metaverse,” said Marc Petit, VP of Epic’s Unreal Engine Ecosystem. 

“The company’s technology complements Epic’s Unreal Engine by enabling massive amounts of concurrent users and unlocking new tools for creators and developers. We are pleased to contribute to Hadean’s growth and look forward to continuing to work together to lay the foundation for the metaverse.”
