Sift

The Next Step in Hardware Observability: Manufacturing 🚗 Our latest blog explores how Sift, founded by SpaceX veterans, is bringing a new level of data transparency to the automotive industry.🚀 https://lnkd.in/e6zjHkFV

At Sift, we envision a future where the barrier to world-changing hardware innovation isn't sensor data wrangling, but the limits of human ingenuity itself. Our Series A funding announced today will help us double down on that mission and scale our impact like never before. 🚀 We'd like to share our gratitude for the support of our investors, the trust of our customers, and the dedication of our team. Together, we'll continue building the most robust software for hardware companies — and enabling the next great leaps in machine innovation. 🙌 https://lnkd.in/gjGynREi

At Sift, we’re interested in making the machines of tomorrow a reality. After watching avoidable, software-based failures continually occur across numerous industries, Sift founders Karthik Gollapudi and Austin Spiegel joined forces to create the world’s first observability stack for hardware data. Sift puts power back into the hands of machine builders, enabling them to grow and scale faster and with greater accuracy. It’s a crucial piece of infrastructure if you want to explore new frontiers in space — or here on Earth. With the ability to access advanced tools, there is no limit to what we can do.

Yesterday marked a critical milestone for True Anomaly as we saw a successful launch and deployment of the first two #Jackal autonomous orbital vehicles (AOVs) via SpaceX’s Transporter-10 Rideshare mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Since then, our Mission Operations team has been working diligently to achieve test and checkout milestones for each spacecraft. Though initial telemetry from Jackal 1 indicated the vehicle was in a nominal state, we’ve been unable to verify if either Jackal is currently functional. There are many factors that contribute to checking out systems in low-Earth orbit in particular, and the team is working to gain more fidelity on the status of both vehicles. #MissionX

Thank you Seraphim Space for recognizing Sift on this year’s Seraphim SpaceTech Ecosystem Map. This comprehensive map represents the most innovative startups driving the future of SpaceTech today, and the Sift team is proud to be on it.

There are a number of ways you can invite risk into your hardware, as we’re seeing here with the latest developments on Boeing’s quality control failures. Relying on just a few employees to retain crucial knowledge creates unnecessary bottlenecks in your system, and burning them out with labor-intensive, manual processes exposes your vehicle to potential disaster. Sift mitigates risk and prevents burn out by capturing your institutional knowledge so it’s easy to access, share, and retain. With automated data review and standardized reporting, your engineers can focus on what they’re good at – building (and safeguarding) your machines.

Join us in congratulating K2 Space Corporation on securing $50 million in new funding! 👏 Monster satellites require advanced telemetry tools in order to operate safely and efficiently, and Sift is here for it. We’re looking forward to supporting K2’s demonstration mission later this year, where they’ll launch their first satellite into orbit.

Coming soon: "Unfiltered Insights" 🧠 We spent yesterday evening introducing ourselves to the vibrant, incredible aerospace community in Colorado Springs, CO. As part of our get-together, we asked industry leaders for their unfiltered views on where the space industry is headed in 2024. ✍ Only the event attendees will get the full, unfiltered list of responses — but we'll post some highlights on our blog for everyone to enjoy. 👀 Cheers to 2024. From what we hear, this year is already shaping up to be a big one. 🚀

Exciting to follow the latest progress - from sitting on the 3rd floor at SpaceX near Neel Kunjur, to providing the tools used to build the next generation of space hardware

We loved seeing our customers on this list, building the future. Sift can help companies tackle some of the greatest technological challenges of our time, and potentially make it onto a16z’s annual spotlight in the future.
