LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ex-SpaceX engineers Karthik Gollapudi and Austin Spiegel have raised $7.5m USD to launch Sift, a new telemetry tool-based start-up that has developed a proprietary stack to revolutionize the way machine data is recorded, visualized, interpreted and automated. Sift's end-to-end telemetry stack increases transparency in machine performance, helping hardware companies across the globe get to market faster, stay under budget, and avoid preventable errors.

Key Points:

Sift's end-to-end telemetry stack increases transparency in machine performance, helping hardware companies across the globe get to market faster, stay under budget, and avoid preventable errors.
Machine performance data has remained confusing and ambivalent throughout hardware development, manufacturing and operations for even the most seasoned engineers.
"We're very excited to equip our community of hardware innovators with the tools they need to build the future."
Each founder independently forged groundbreaking advances while leading critical missions at SpaceX, and they plan to replicate that formula for success within Sift and their clients.
