Envisics closes Series C funding round with M&G Investments joining as a new investor
Envisics, pioneer and global leader in dynamic holographic technology, has today announced the completion of its Series C funding round by welcoming M&G Investments as a new investor in the company and a follow-on investment from Van Tuyl Companies. In March this year, Envisics announced the first phase had raised over $50 million, with the round being led by Hyundai Mobis – an existing strategic investor, with additional investments from new strategic shareholders InMotion Ventures, the investment arm of Jaguar Land Rover, and Stellantis.
Envisics’ holographic technology enables market leading Augmented Reality Head-Up Displays (AR HUD), an advanced display technology that is fast becoming a must-have feature for auto makers and consumers alike.
“Envisics continues to attract extremely high-quality strategic investors to the company,” said Envisics’ CEO and Founder, Dr Jamieson Christmas (pictured). “We continue to make great progress on developing and delivering dynamic holography as a viable product at scale to the world’s leading automakers. The vote of confidence from M&G Investments, together with our recently expanded group of investors, speaks to the significant growth potential for our technology as part of the transformation set to disrupt next generation mobility experiences.”
Mitchell Caplan, President of Tarsadia Investments and Chairman of Envisics Inc., commented, “To have such a strong close to our Series C strategic funding round is a testament to the momentum built by Dr. Christmas and the team at Envisics. We were an early investor in Envisics, and we welcome the very impressive roster of returning and new investors in this round.”
Envisics Ltd. is a private company registered and headquartered in the U.K. Envisics Ltd. is owned by Envisics Inc., a Delaware corporation. Following the Series C financing round, the ownership structure includes strategic investors Tarsadia Investments, GM Ventures, Hyundai Mobis, Jaguar Land Rover’s InMotion Ventures, Stellantis Ventures, SAIC Motors, Van Tuyl Companies, and M&G Investments.
