Vsim, a simulation startup co-founded by former Nvidia executives, has secured $21.5 million in seed funding led by EQT Ventures. This investment will fuel the company’s growth and development of innovative physics simulation solutions.
Vsim’s technology offers a significant advantage over existing solutions by providing high-performance simulations with minimal engineering efforts. The company’s founders, Michelle Lu and Kier Storey, bring over 20 years of experience in physics simulation, having worked on Nvidia’s simulation technology team.
Vsim’s solution leverages new algorithms and multi-core hardware architectures to accelerate simulations across various industries, including robotics, visual effects, aerodynamics, gaming, and e-commerce. By addressing the limitations of existing solutions, Vsim enables companies to complete simulations in minutes instead of days without compromising on quality.
The company’s flexible framework allows users to easily customize simulations and develop new models to meet their specific requirements. Vsim has also expanded its technology stack to include a reinforcement training framework, offering up to 100x faster training performance compared to other solutions.
With this new funding, Vsim plans to expand its offerings and develop tailored software solutions for robotics applications.
Michelle Lu, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Vsim, commented:“We are thrilled to announce our seed funding round led by EQT Ventures, which represents a significant milestone in our development. This will provide us with further resources and support to deliver on our mission to empower companies to accelerate and optimize their AI trainings and ultimately, transform the field of robotics simulation. EQT Ventures were an obvious choice of partner for us – they share the challenger mentality that is at Vsim’s core and our passion of supporting businesses to grow with cutting edge technology solutions.”
Vsim’s innovative approach and strong leadership team position the company as a leader in the field of physics simulation. The company’s future is bright, and its technology has the potential to transform industries and drive innovation.
