Revel, a 15-month-old company, raised $150M at a $1.005B valuation to modernize industrial control software, a sector dominated by decades-old technology.
Founded by SpaceX veteran Scott Morton, Revel's platform was inspired by the need to build modern control infrastructure from scratch for high-stakes projects like Starship.
The company demonstrates significant market traction, with a 100% pilot-to-customer conversion rate and case studies showing over 5x increases in hardware testing frequency for clients like Impulse Space.
Revel aims to democratize hardware control by creating an intuitive, developer-friendly platform that lowers the barrier to entry, enabling even interns to become productive in minutes.
