The round was led by Boulder-based Foundry Group with follow-on participation from Almaz Capital and Kentucky Science & Technology Corporation (KSTC). The company will use this investment to scale their ability to automate how things get made.

MakeTime delivers a unique fulfillment process that cuts production time up to 75% compared to traditional supply chain management. The platform enables qualified U.S. suppliers to monetize incremental capacity from idle machines by aggregating available hours across machine types.

MakeTime also streamlines procurement for manufacturers by matching a job to machine capacity. The platform automates matching by analyzing the part files of a job to determine machining requirements and uses the requested quantity and in-hands date to match the job with a single supplier or distribute it across multiple suppliers.

'With this investment, MakeTime will advance its platform automation to help manufacturers bring more products to market. We're also focused on helping our customers transition their own operations to smart infrastructure to stay competitive. Today, 60% of manufacturers on our platform are repeat customers who are overcoming common challenges in their industry with MakeTime,' said Drura Parrish, founder and CEO of MakeTime. 'The backing of Foundry Group, together with our initial investors Almaz Capital and KSTC, fuels our mission to lead an industry shift in digital manufacturing.'

'We're excited to partner with the MakeTime team to build a great company in Kentucky,' said Seth Levine, investment lead and managing director of Foundry Group. 'MakeTime combines the best attributes of successful marketplace businesses -- leveraging unused capacity, and selling into a large market with significant latent demand. We couldn't be more pleased with the chance to work with an industry-pioneering company working to define a new market.'

'We welcome Foundry Group as a partner and are glad to continue our support of MakeTime. Since our initial investment, the company has seen strong adoption across a variety of manufacturing industries, including automotive and aeronautics,' added Daniil Stolyarov, investment lead and director at Almaz Capital. 'We look forward to being part of the company's quest for making flexible and efficient on-demand manufacturing a reality.'
