Humanity’s most important re-usable rockets, autonomous aeroplanes, SMR’s, humanoid robots and self-driving cars - are developed faster, cheaper and safer on Flow. The next generation of hardware is built natively on Flow. With every generation, systems engineering / complexity increases, forcing humanity to change how they work: Era 1: The Analogue Era 1940-1980s The Wright Brothers, Apollo, the Model T. We designed everything on pen and paper. Blackboards. Drafting Tables, Physical Test. Era 2: The Digital Era 1980-2020s The 747, the Ford Focus, the Space Shuttle. We moved from paper to software. Drafting to CAD. Blackboards to spreadsheets. Functional complexity grew, but tools kept pace—mostly. Era 3: The Iterative Era Today - Future This is the age of Re-usable Rockets, of Self-driving cars and of Humanoid Robotics. Today, system complexity has exploded. It’s not just changes in one domain - it's deeply cross-functional engineering. The best companies of our era operate much more

Flow raises $23M Series A from Sequoia, founders of Stripe & Unity to help hardware teams iterate like software. Humanity’s most important machines, reusable rockets, autonomous aircraft, small modular reactors, humanoid robots, and self-driving cars, are being developed faster, safer, and cheaper on Flow. The next generation of hardware is being built natively on Flow.
