Sift
Sift is the first unified observability platform for hardware sensor data, empowering engineers to accelerate development, conduct efficient reviews, and ensure reliable operation of complex machines. Founded by former SpaceX engineers, Sift is headquartered in Marina del Rey, CA. | Sift is the unified observability platform for engineers building complex, mission-critical machines. Founded by former SpaceX engineers, Sift turns raw telemetry into structured insight. It accelerates test cycles, eliminates blind spots, and enables real-time decisions with traceability and control. Used across aerospace, defense, transportation, and industrial sectors, Sift powers teams working on aircraft, satellites, autonomous systems, and more. | Modern machines don’t just move, they think. They’re autonomous, software-defined, and mission-critical. But most people still build them like it’s 1995. That’s why we built Sift. Sift exists to make engineering faster, safer, and smarter for companies pushing the limits in aerospace, defense, robotics, and autonomy.
Navier AI
Navier AI is building the first Agent-Driven Engineering platform. We believe engineers should focus on designing great products, not wrestling with simulation software. Navier AI makes it simple to run CFD simulations at scale through our web-based platform built on OpenFOAM, the industry-standard solver for CFD. Our AI agents autonomously handle the complex, time-consuming steps of simulation—from geometry cleanup and meshing to solver configuration and cloud resource management. By automating the tedious parts of the workflow, we enable engineering teams to move faster, explore more design possibilities, and spend their time on high-value engineering decisions.
