“The completion of Series C funding represents a significant step forward for UVeye and our plans to expand in Europe and the U.S.,” Amir Hever, UVeye’s chief executive officer and co-founder, said in a statement Wednesday.
The funding values the company at $300 million to $500 million, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked to not be identified because the valuation isn’t public. A representative for UVeye declined to comment on the valuation.
Other investors in the round included F.I.T. Ventures, Israeli investment bank Epsilon Underwriting & Issuing, Meitav Dash Investments, Menora Mivtachim Holdings and Y.D. More Investments. Existing backers include Volvo AB, Hyundai Motor Co. and Toyota Tsusho Corp.

It uses artificial intelligence to identify mechanical flaws. The company has raised more than $90 million.
