# Zeromatter

> Zeromatter builds the simulation infrastructure that autonomous-systems companies use to develop, test and validate their products before they ever touch the real world. Founded by former Tesla Autopilot simulation lead Ian Glow, its platform combines high-fidelity sensor simulation, automatic environment generation, multi-agent co-simulation frameworks, execution infrastructure and developer tooling into one system - aimed at making simulation a default tool for autonomy, aerospace, automotive, agriculture, drones and green energy.

- **Founded:** 2021
- **Headquarters:** Mountain View, California, United States
- **Founders:** Ian Glow (Founder & CEO)
- **Team size:** ~75 employees (per Apollo/listed data; team drawn from Tesla, Cruise, NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft, Activision and id Software)
- **Products:** Sensor Simulation, Automatic Environment Generation, Multi-Agent Co-Simulation Framework, Execution Infrastructure & Tooling
- **Notable:** Raised approximately $45M from notable deep-tech and industrial investors., Assembled a team from Tesla, Cruise, NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft, Activision and id Software., Built a single platform spanning sensor simulation, environment generation, multi-agent co-simulation and execution infrastructure.

## Products & services

- **Sensor Simulation** — High-performance, high-fidelity simulation of sensors (cameras, lidar, radar and more) used to generate realistic data for AI model training and autonomy testing.
- **Automatic Environment Generation** — Tools that automatically create simulated worlds and scenarios, reducing the manual effort of building environments for testing and training.
- **Multi-Agent Co-Simulation Framework** — Framework for simulating many interacting agents at once, suited to drones, robotics and complex multi-actor scenes.
- **Execution Infrastructure & Tooling** — Scalable execution infrastructure plus developer tooling to launch, build, run and analyze simulations as a production workflow.

## Achievements

- Raised approximately $45M from notable deep-tech and industrial investors.
- Assembled a team from Tesla, Cruise, NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft, Activision and id Software.
- Built a single platform spanning sensor simulation, environment generation, multi-agent co-simulation and execution infrastructure.
