Nature Metrics: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

NatureMetrics is an award-winning technology start-up using cutting-edge genetic techniques to monitor biodiversity. Each species carries a unique genetic signature in all cells. When an organism's cells are shed into the environment (e.g. through excretion, mucous, saliva, gametes, or tissue breakdown) its genetic signature is also released. At NatureMetrics, we isolate these signatures from water or sediment samples - or from complex mixed-species samples of invertebrates - and use them to determine which species are present.

About FundedIQ's Nature Metrics Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Nature Metrics is left off this page rather than filled in.
