Founded by Herman Narula, Improbable Worlds Limited (commonly referred to as Improbable) is a British multinational technology company founded in 2012, and headquartered in London, England. Improbable’s platform, SpatialOS, is designed to let anyone build massive agent-based simulations, running in the cloud: imagine Minecraft with thousands of players in the same space, or researchers creating simulated cities to model the behaviour of millions. Its ultimate goal: to create totally immersive, persistent virtual worlds, and in doing so, change how people make decisions. The firm partnered with Google in December 2016. The software was released into open beta in February 2017. It has raised more than $540 million (£421m) in funding from venture-capital firms including SoftBank, Horizons Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz. It has partnered with Google worldwide, and counts the UK and US defence departments among its clients. In May 2017, the company joined the select few British tech startups valued at over $1billion.
