# Bifrost AI

> Bifrost AI builds simulation and evaluation infrastructure for physical AI. Its platform generates photorealistic 3D synthetic data and stress-tests robotics and computer-vision systems across thousands of simulated scenarios - weather, sensor noise, rare edge cases - so teams can train and validate models in minutes instead of months. Used across maritime, geospatial, aerial, off-road, industrial, and off-world domains, with collaborators including NASA JPL and the U.S. Air Force. Founded in 2020 and backed by an $8M Series A led by Carbide Ventures with participation from Airbus Ventures and Peak XV's Surge.

- **Founded:** 2020
- **Headquarters:** San Francisco, United States
- **Founders:** Charles Wong (Co-Founder & CEO), Aravind Kandiah (Co-Founder & CTO)
- **Team size:** ~40 employees (San Francisco and Singapore)
- **Products:** Bifrost Simulation & Eval Infrastructure, Alchemy, Domain data engines
- **Notable:** Raised $8M Series A led by Carbide Ventures (Oct 2024); ~$13.7M total raised, Selected by NASA JPL to help generate Moon and Mars exploration data, CEO Charles Wong recognized on Forbes 30 Under 30

## Products & services

- **Bifrost Simulation & Eval Infrastructure** — A platform that stress-tests physical AI across thousands of simulated scenarios daily, providing CI/CD-style evals to continuously benchmark robotics and perception systems and catch failures before real-world deployment.
- **Alchemy** — Synthetic data generation engine using procedural 3D rendering and AI, runnable in the cloud or locally. Generates labeled 2D and 3D datasets with scenario variation across objects, weather, lighting, and sensor models (RGB, satellite, and more).
- **Domain data engines** — Specialized generation for maritime, geospatial, aerial, off-road, industrial, and off-world (Moon/Mars) environments, including automated labeling and bias/gap detection in training data.

## Achievements

- Raised $8M Series A led by Carbide Ventures (Oct 2024); ~$13.7M total raised
- Selected by NASA JPL to help generate Moon and Mars exploration data
- CEO Charles Wong recognized on Forbes 30 Under 30
- Backed by Airbus Ventures and Peak XV's Surge (Sequoia India/SEA)
- Claims ~100x acceleration over real-world fleet data collection

## Latest updates
