Growing The Speckle Seed

We’re excited to share that we’ve raised a $5.5M (£4M) seed round. This milestone is not just about funding — it’s about finding the right partners who share our vision of democratising 3D data with open source.

The round was led by Frontline Ventures and Matrix Partners, with continued support from Foundamental, Cocoa, and incredible angel investors including the Co-founders of Sentry, Built Technologies, Plangrid, and executives from Snap and Stripe.

So what’s next? We’re doubling down on our community — supporting its growth and addressing the endless stream of feature requests. Our focus is to keep developing Speckle as an open source platform for 3D data that works for everyone.

Looking back, Speckle started as a small Grasshopper plugin during my PhD and quickly grew into an open source project that captured the imagination of the AEC industry (and Matteo, the best cofounder one could ask for 🤘). In 2020, we set up Speckle as a company during the first pandemic wave, raised our first pre-seed, and never looked back.

Since then, our team has grown fast. Together, we’ve released 10+ connectors, shipped powerful web features, and strengthened our SDKs — all while building an amazing global community.

The truth is simple: our world is built on 3D models, but the infrastructure for sharing and collaborating around them is still missing. That’s what we’re solving — and we can’t wait to help open a new digital era for how the world is designed and built.
