Rescale Secures $115 Million for AI-Driven Digital Engineering

Rescale, a digital engineering platform built for innovation and scientific discovery, announces a $115 million Series D with participation from Applied Ventures, Atika Capital, Foxconn, Hanwha Asset Management Deeptech Venture Fund, Hitachi Ventures, NEC Orchestrating Future Fund, NVIDIA, Prosperity7, SineWave Ventures, Translink Capital, University of Michigan, and Y Combinator, bringing total funding raised to over $260 million.

Rescale’s early investors include Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, Paul Graham, and Peter Thiel. The company says it is on a mission to empower the world’s engineers and R&D teams with advanced computing, intelligent data management, and applied AI.

“Our future breakthroughs are limited not by imagination, but by the speed at which engineers and scientists can turn ideas into reality,” says Joris Poort, Rescale founder and CEO. “Today’s leading innovators face bottlenecks in limited compute, siloed data, and complexity of AI deployment. Rescale removes these barriers—empowering every engineer and scientist to accelerate discovery, scale impact, and shape the future faster.”

“Accelerated computing is the engine of the AI industrial revolution,” says 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.”

Rescale offers a platform for integrating compute, data, and AI capabilities into one experience, enabling organizations to focus on innovation and discovery, the company reports.

Rescale’s enterprise customers — which include Arm, General Motors Motorsports, Samsung, SLB, and the U.S. Department of Defense — spend over $1 billion annually in high-performance computing infrastructure to power their virtual product development and scientific discovery environments. Rescale supports anarray of mission-critical use cases, such as accelerating drug development through molecular analysis, optimizing aircraft aerodynamics and enhancing automotive safety through crash simulations.

Rescale says its new funding will expedite growth of its digital engineering platform for advanced computing, intelligent data, and applied AI. Rescale is accelerating the delivery of its roadmap including:

Expanding the range of new workflows and computing technologies available to its customers; growing its market-leading library of over 1,250 applications and global network of more than 500 cloud datacenters with its technology partners such as AMD, Amazon Web Services, Arm, Intel, Microsoft Azure, NVIDIA, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Establishing unified data fabric and digital thread capability for all modeling and simulation workflows, along with AI-native search, tagging, and automation; while expanding on enterprise security and compliance offerings.

Empowering industrial enterprises for the next era of AI-powered engineering, enabling organizations to democratize and automate the use of AI Physics tools and libraries, resulting in speed improvements in design validation.

Rapid advancements in AI technologies are changing how every organization seeks to gain a competitive edge. Rescale’s digital engineering platform is reimagining modeling and simulation for the AI era. Rescale’s cloud-native technologies provide enterprises with agility and automation that fundamentally advance product development and scientific discovery.
