End-to-end Simulation for Defense Autonomy
We build simulation infrastructure that defense companies use to train and validate their autonomous systems. Our software creates realistic environments and scenarios for autonomous drones, robots, and aerospace vehicles so they can be tested and trusted before deployment.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco is where our team lives and where we have access to both defense tech talent and robotics/aerospace expertise. It's also convenient to partners and potential customers in the area.
