What Daqstra does
Daqstra is the AI-native orchestration layer for physical R&D. It saves engineers in Aerospace, Energy and Robotics hundreds of man hours managing test infrastructure by connecting fragmented test hardware, bringing live and historical test data into one place, and by giving engineers an API to orchestrate their entire test setup. We enable teams to spend less time rebuilding test infrastructure and more time improving the hardware they test.

AI-native test infrastructure for hardware teams
We are building Daqstra, the AI-native orchestration layer for physical R&D teams. Hardware companies in sectors like Aerospace, Energy, and Robotics use us to connect fragmented test hardware, centralize live and historical test data, and control their entire test setup through an API. We help teams avoid rebuilding infrastructure and let them focus on improving their actual hardware.
We live in San Francisco, CA, USA, and will stay based here after YC.
San Francisco is the center of hardware, robotics, and AI talent, and it's where our early adopters are. We want to stay close to the best engineers and our users.
