About Artifact
Artifact is a collaborative IDE for hardware engineers – accelerating every step in the engineering lifecycle:
Design → Procurement → Manufacturing → Integration → Test → Sustainment
We’ve raised $3.5M to build an integrated, verifiable AI copilot with an intuitive UI that reflects how hardware actually gets built. Every artifact is auto-generated and traceable to a single-source of truth.
We believe hardware engineering should be rigorous, deliberate, and system-aware. We work directly with customers solving the world’s hardest technical problems to modernize how complex hardware is engineered.
