**CloudNC** closed a **$20 million Series B extension**, reported **September 8, 2026**. **Nimble Ventures** led. [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/08/cloudnc-raises-20m-to-automate-manufacturings-most-pressing-bottlenecks/), CEO Theo Saville. This is **not** a new letter. The last major print was a **$45 million** Series B led by **Autodesk** on **June 21, 2022**. Valuation was **not disclosed**. Last verified **September 9, 2026**.

There is **no** Nimble Ventures `/fund/` page here.

## 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](https://tech.eu/2022/06/22/cloudnc-raises-45-million-welcomes-autodesk-and-lockheed-martin-to-the-table/) 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).
