About us
Sygma’s mission is to accelerate hardware innovation at scale. We envision a future where physical product development can be as easy as software development and hardware teams get the same level of love and tooling that software teams have taken for granted for the last 20 years. We’re building an AI-enabled platform that helps automate repetitive engineering tasks and project management overhead, saving teams hundreds of hours and millions of dollars.
We’ve recently raised a $2.6M pre-seed, and have since onboarded some of the world’s largest and most respected hardware companies as paying customers.
