A $348K pre-seed round has landed for Metaphora Lab, the Italian startup building what it calls "Complementary Reality" - AI-driven immersive training tools designed to augment, not replace, human judgment.
The investment comes from RIBO Beyond Expectations. Metaphora Lab’s flagship product, SafetyScapes, delivers VR-based health and safety courses covering everything from fire prevention to confined-space risk management, paired with an AI dashboard that tracks performance. The company has already gone through Italy’s BoostER accelerator and is working with Creative Valley to push into international markets. The fresh capital will help it scale that effort.
