Simr secured $20m in Series A funding led by Uncorrelated Ventures, with investments also from BMW i Ventures and Earlybird Venture Capital. The funding would drive further expansion into North America and Europe while also growing the company’s engineering and product innovation teams.

Simr works with other simulation platform providers including ANSYS, Siemens and Dassault Systemes.

“SimOps has the potential to revolutionise how companies design complex, breakthrough products by letting teams iterate and test their ideas in the time they were previously forced to waste waiting for simulations to be completed,” said Baris Guzel, partner, BMW i Ventures.
