NVIDIA-Backed Rescale Builds The AI Era’s Digital Engineering Backbone

Joris Poort, CEO at Rescale
Rescale, the digital engineering platform powering the future of innovation and scientific discovery, today announced a $115 million Series D with participation from Applied Ventures, Atika Capital, Foxconn, Hanwha, Hitachi Ventures, Prosperity7, NEC, NVIDIA, Translink Capital, the University of Michigan, and SineWave Ventures—bringing Rescale’s total funding to more than $260 million. Early investors include Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, Paul Graham, and Peter Thiel. Rescale is on a mission to empower the world’s leading engineers and R&D teams with advanced computing, intelligent data, and applied AI.
"Accelerated computing is the engine of the AI industrial revolution," said Jensen Huang, NVIDIA founder and CEO. “With Rescale’s full-stack NVIDIA software and infrastructure, industries can push the boundaries of AI-driven modeling and simulation—advancing discovery, design, and engineering at an unprecedented pace.”
From Idea to Insight—Faster Than Ever
“Today’s most important breakthroughs depend on how fast engineering and R&D teams can move from idea to insight,” said Joris Poort, founder and CEO of Rescale. “Unfortunately, most teams are using computing infrastructure that wasn’t built for the scale, complexity, or speed to match the rapid pace of technological advancement. Rescale gives every engineer and scientist access to the compute, data, and AI tools they need to accelerate innovation.”
In response to greater demand for new innovative products, enterprises are increasing their investments in technologies that expedite time to market. High-performance computing is now a $50 billion market, simulation software sits at $20 billion, and product lifecycle data management is valued at $30 billion. Yet integrating this increasingly complex tech stack—software, hardware, and data—remains a challenge. Rescale offers a comprehensive platform for integrating compute, data, and AI capabilities into a seamless experience, enabling organizations to focus on innovation and discovery.
Powering the World’s Most Advanced Innovation
Rescale is trusted by industry leaders advancing the frontier in aerospace, automotive, life sciences, energy, manufacturing, semiconductors, and defense. The company’s hundreds of enterprise customers — which include Arm, General Motors, Samsung, SLB, and the U.S. Department of Defense — spend over $1B in infrastructure to power their virtual product development and scientific discovery environments. From accelerating drug development through molecular analysis to optimizing aircraft aerodynamics and enhancing automotive safety through crash simulations, Rescale supports a diverse array of mission-critical use cases. Rescale enables innovators and scientists to bring more advanced products to market with greater efficiency.
