Although the spread of coronavirus is at the top of everyone’s mind, reducing the number of job site accidents still remains a high priority. AI-powered construction safety platform Newmetrix proved this recently when it announced that it had earned a $5 million round of new funding from Sony Innovation Fund (SIF) and IA Capital Group.
The platform’s previous investors, Building Ventures, Companyon Ventures and Converge, also joined the round with others.
