Value proposition
Modern software platform that replaces legacy 1980s/90s-era hardware testing and control infrastructure, enabling engineers to design, run, and monitor hardware tests in minutes instead of months, with AI-driven analysis for failure detection and performance optimization.
Products and solutions
RevelTest (hardware testing platform), RevelC2 (command & control for operational environments), RevelCode (proprietary programming language combining Python-like ergonomics with deterministic execution)
Unique value
Revel provides a unified, browser-based platform for hardware test and control that replaces fragmented legacy tools (LabVIEW, custom scripts) with modern infrastructure — achieving 5-10x testing throughput improvements, enabling intern-level engineers to write control software, and serving as the "Figma for hardware" across aerospace, defense, and energy.
Target customer
Hardware engineering teams in aerospace, defense, robotics, automotive, nuclear energy, semiconductors, and industrial manufacturing
Industries served
Aerospace, Defense, Robotics, Energy (nuclear, oil & gas), Automotive, Semiconductors, Industrial Manufacturing
Technology advantage
Built by ex-SpaceX engineers who experienced the pain of legacy systems firsthand; proprietary RevelCode language for deterministic execution; real-time telemetry and AI-driven failure detection; browser-based collaborative environment; hardware-agnostic architecture; 5-10x testing throughput improvement validated by customers
How they differentiate
Unlike legacy tools (LabVIEW, VeriStand) that require specialized expertise and manual configuration, Revel offers a modern, browser-based, collaborative platform with Python-like programming (RevelCode), real-time telemetry, AI-driven diagnostics, and hardware-agnostic architecture — enabling 5-10x faster testing cycles and onboarding of junior engineers.
Main competitors
National Instruments (NI) LabVIEW/VeriStand, Siemens (NX/Simcenter), MathWorks (MATLAB/Simulink)
Key partnerships
Sift (Siftstack) — product partnership: Revel as control plane + Sift as observability/intelligence plane for hardware test, telemetry, and closed-loop Develop→Validate→Operate workflows
Notable customers
Impulse Space, Radiant Nuclear, Astro Mechanica, K2 Space, Gravitics, Orbital Operations
Major milestones
Founded mid-2024 by ex-SpaceX engineer Scott Morton, Emerged from stealth with $30M (Seed + Series A) in April 2025, Raised $150M Series B at $1B+ valuation in February 2026 (15 months post-founding), Expanded from aerospace testing into industrial control (nuclear, defense, energy), Team grew from 1 to 18+ engineers from SpaceX, Anduril, and Palantir
Growth metrics
~1,000 pilots completed; 100% pilot-to-customer conversion rate; Impulse Space runs 80+ instances of RevelTest; 5-10x testing frequency improvement for customers
Market positioning
Category-creating leader modernizing the legacy hardware testing and control software market (estimated at billions globally), competing against entrenched 1980s/90s-era incumbents like National Instruments LabVIEW. Achieved unicorn status ($1B+ valuation) within 15 months of founding.
Geographic focus
United States (Los Angeles, CA) with global customer base
