London-based HIVE has secured €13.1 million ($15 million) in a pre-Series A funding round led by SuperSeed, with participation from Veriten, Skyfall, and Nysnø. This capital infusion will be used to further develop their "silicon brain" platform for industrial machines, expand their founding team, and scale commercial deployments across Scandinavia and an upcoming US expansion. HIVE claims its AI platform can reduce productive machine-hour costs by 80% as it learns and compounds value with each deployed machine hour.
