CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Elemental Machines, a developer of the LabOps Intelligence Platform for labs around the world, has raised $41 million in a Series B funding round led by Sageview Capital and co-led by Omega Venture Partners, with continued participation from Gutbrain Ventures and Digitalis Ventures.
“The support we have received from Sageview Capital, Omega Venture Partners, and our existing investors comes at the right time to drive our growth,” said Sridhar Iyengar, PhD, founder and CEO of Elemental Machines. “We are excited to build on the tremendous success we’ve had in the R&D space. We believe that our technology platform is poised to transform operational environments by connecting nearly any physical asset to the cloud, and thereby freeing operators to focus on more strategic initiatives.”
