On January 19, 2021, Multiverse (formerly known as WhiteHat), a UK start-up that works with organizations to develop apprenticeships and helps source promising, diverse candidates to fill those roles, announced a $44 million Series B funding round. The funding will be used to spearhead a move into the U.S. market after picking up over 300 clients in the UK and thousands of apprentices. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised Multiverse on the fundraise, in collaboration with Taylor Wessing.

The round was led by General Catalyst, with GV (formerly known as Google Ventures), Audacious Ventures, Latitude, and SemperVirens also participating. In addition, Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, who first invested in the company in its $16 million Series A in 2020, participated in the round.

The Wilson Sonsini team advising Multiverse includes Michael Labriola, Daniel Glazer, Amanda Pollard, and Alex Moffitt.
