Manufacturing startup Scimplify in talks to raise $30-40 million from Hitachi Ventures, others

Scimplify, a startup that offers specialty chemical and advanced material manufacturing infrastructure for large companies, is in discussions to raise $30-40 million from a consortium of Japanese investors led by Hitachi Ventures, three people aware of the development said.

The round, which will also see participation from some domestic and existing investors, will value Scimplify at around $300 million post-money, one of them said. This is double the $150 million valuation at which it raised $40 million in March 2025 from Accel and Bertelsmann India.
