Datacor knows where the batch went
A chemical business runs on recipes, records and awkward little exceptions. Datacor has spent four decades turning those exceptions into software - and is now buying its way deeper into the plant.
Lone Star Analysis makes a business of what you don’t know
A grounded model can be worth more than a mountain of data. Lone Star Analysis turns engineering knowledge, uncertain inputs and simulated futures into decisions about aircraft, maintenance and the price of winning.
SimuTech Group makes the expensive mistakes happen on screen
A valve, a quantum refrigerator and a very large hammer reveal the business behind SimuTech Group: helping engineers turn simulation into decisions they can defend.
The Expensive Art of Asking What If
Luminary spends compute up front so engineers can ask better questions later. Its physics AI models bring aerodynamic and crash predictions into the early, still-changeable hours of product design.
Revalize Bought the Software Under the Factory Floor. Now It Has to Make the Pieces Fit
Revalize stitched together 19 specialist brands to give manufacturers one route from sketch to quote. The opportunity is large; so is the integration job.
Burak Yenier Is Turning Simulation’s Hidden Chores Into Infrastructure
The Simr co-founder spent years keeping financial software available. Now he is applying the same operational discipline to the simulations behind physical products - and to the data that engineering AI needs.
Simr (formerly UberCloud)
Simr, formerly UberCloud, is a Los Altos, California company that automates engineering simulation in the cloud. Its SimOps (Simulation Operations Automation) platform lets design engineers run compute-heavy simulations - CFD, FEA and multi-physics workloads - on any cloud or on-premise hardware with leading tools like Ansys, Siemens and Dassault, without wrestling with the underlying HPC infrastructure. Founded in 2014 by Burak Yenier and Wolfgang Gentzsch, the company raised a $20M Series A in 2024 and counts major manufacturers and tech giants among its users.
Joris Poort
Joris Poort is the co-founder and CEO of Rescale, the cloud high-performance computing platform that became the world's first unicorn in cloud HPC. Born in Nijmegen, Netherlands, and educated at the University of Michigan, University of Washington, and Harvard Business School, Poort spent years at Boeing engineering the 787 Dreamliner before co-founding Rescale in 2011 through Y Combinator. Under his leadership Rescale has raised over $284 million—including a $115M Series D in April 2025—and now serves the world's leading aerospace, automotive, energy, and life sciences enterprises with 1,250+ simulation applications across 500+ global cloud datacenters.
