Improbable Secures Investment from Andreessen Horowitz to Build Simulated Worlds

  • London-based tech company Improbable has secured an investment from Andreessen Horowitz, a prominent venture capital firm

  • Improbable specializes in creating simulated worlds, offering an operating environment that enables the development of complex simulations with millions of entities interacting in real-time

  • The investment will support Improbable's mission to make building these simulated worlds more accessible and financially viable for developers.

      • ProblemTechnology Infrastructure

      "making simulated worlds, which are digital spaces that can run in real time containing millions of entities with interesting behaviors that work in concert to create functioning worlds; these spaces with their own rules and properties offer a multitude of people the chance to simultaneously change, explore and visualise in as many different ways as developers can imagine."

      Solution

      "Improbable's approach involves a swarm of decentralised, heterogeneous workers collaborating together to form a simulation much larger than any single worker can understand, with the ability to migrate between physical machines in real time and handle huge numbers of users interacting with and updating the simulation simultaneously."
