Five-minute decision
| If you need… | Verdict |
|---|---|
| What happened | Funded. $20M B extension, Sep 8. Nimble led. |
| Last priced print | $45M B, Jun 2022, Autodesk led. Four years earlier. |
| Lifetime capital | CEO: $128M now. Tech.eu in 2022: ~$78M then. $78M + $20M ≠ $128M. |
| Traction | CEO: 1,000+ shops; ~80% of customers in the US; 80 employees. No ARR. |
| Whether to diligence | Yes, if you underwrite CAM copilots for US reshoring. No, if you need a mark or a reconciled cap table. |
Investigate further when: a four-year extension with US-heavy usage is the question you actually have.
Wait or pass when: you need the missing ~$30 million of lifetime capital explained, or a post-money.

The $128 million line
Tech.eu said the 2022 B took lifetime capital to about $78 million. Add $20 million and you get about $98 million, not $128 million. Possible explanations (undisclosed later equity, debt, grants, different counting) were not given. Do not invent them. Do not treat $128 million as the size of this extension.
What remains undisclosed
Valuation. ARR. The lifetime-capital gap. Whether Autodesk or Atomico returned on the extension (not named in the TC investor list).
