Nullspace Raises $2.5M Seed Round for RF Simulation Software Applications

Nullspace, a deep tech company developing electromagnetic simulation software, reports a $2.5 million seed round led by Fathom Fund, with participation from Golden Seeds LLC and other strategic angel investors.

"Nullspace will utilize this seed funding to expand the engineering team, accelerate product development, and scale go-to-market efforts as we target growing demand across aerospace, defense, quantum computing, and AI-enabled hardware markets," says Dr. Masha Petrova, Nullspace's CEO and co-founder.

RF and Quantum Computing Tools

Nullspace develops enterprise simulation software, positioned to address high-barrier markets: next-generation RF and quantum computing hardware.

"At Fathom, we seek out companies that combine deep technical moats with clear paths to market dominance, and Nullspace is a great example of that," says Dr. Paul Sheng, managing partner at Fathom Fund. "The founders' PhD-level engineering backgrounds, combined with their extensive operational track records, have enabled them to build software solutions with an extraordinary level of maturity.

"Nullspace is delivering much-needed modern physics simulation tools that customers are welcoming with open arms," says Sheng. "In rapidly evolving markets like 5G, quantum computing, and spectrum management, this head start is invaluable."

Fathom's Sheng will be joining the board of directors at Nullspace. In addition, Dr. Nathan Kundtz, CEO and founder of Rendered AI, and former CEO and co-founder of Kymeta Corp., will join as an independent board director.

RF and Connected Devices

Nullspace's flagship product, Nullspace EM, unlocks the ability to simulate larger, more complex designs with full-fidelity accuracy and speed. Nullspace also offers Nullspace ES, a commercial tool for design and analysis of extremely large ion traps for quantum computing architecture, according to Nullspace.

Defense-Validated Technology

Nullspace is a U.S.-based company developing real-world enterprise RF simulation tools. This foundation enables the dual use of Nullspace software for both military programs and commercial applications, positioning it for advanced implementations like generative design and AI-guided design automation, the company reports.

The core technology behind Nullspace's modern solvers has been tested on real-world antenna, microwave, scattering, and ion-trap design problems for 10+ years, including physical products delivered to the U.S. Department of Defense.
