Today, we at Arena are introducing the world's first AI hardware engineer, Atlas, used by many of the world's most respected and ambitious hardware companies – in semiconductors, aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and defense. I'm incredibly proud of and fortunate to

AI hardware engineer should be good for manufacturing in America x.com/PratapRanade/s…

Starting with testing and simulation for hardware, Arena is building a future where machines self-diagnose, self-heal, and eventually develop new capabilities. Congrats on the $30M Series B round!

Today, 2 awesome fundraising announcements happened that will get you fired up about the future of manufacturing in America 🇺🇸 1. Amca, is the Advanced Manufacturing Company of America. - Announced $76M round today - Founded by Jai Malik, who started Countdown VC which

What if hardware dev moved as fast as software? Arena built Atlas—an AI hardware engineer that shortens the design loop by 1000x. No more endless re-spins. Just fast, physics-grounded iteration. The future of hardware starts here ↓

"We found a beautiful intersection between applied physics and AI...the incumbent set hasn't changed since the 80's." Pratap Ranade is live on today's episode of TBPN! Thanks John Coogan and Jordi Hays for having us.

this is pretty wild, an ai hardware engineer! congrats arena team, excited to see more!

Congrats Pratap Ranade & Arena team on shipping hardware at the speed of software!

We asked Pratap Ranade how the tariffs will affect Arena. "You have a ton of panic in the system." "It's a forcing function to do a lot of hard engineering in America. There's more urgency than there's ever been on the customer side."

We asked Pratap Ranade to give us a hardware engineering 101. "We at Arena are currently at the inner layer: the nervous system." Here's his full response. We recommend giving this a watch to hear about the drone breakdown and analogies to the human body.

Thanks for having me on TBPN. If you’re excited to build out the nervous system for autonomous hardwire, we are hiring Arena

The lack of hardware talent is a real and overlooked crisis in the context of the 🇺🇸 economy

The pizza story here is absolutely amazing!

7. Arena – $30M – Offers a collaborative AI workspace that helps enterprise teams make strategic decisions with LLM-powered agents, data integrations, and contextual memory to automate research, reporting, and planning at scale.

Had a blast last night speaking at Columbia Business School about AI agents x Hardware, and our work at Arena. Inspired by Columbia University students approaching AI with a beginner's mind, and bold ambition!

Deep tech is moving fast. Two of our portcos—Arena and Albedo—are speaking at this #NYTechWeek event hosted by Newlab.
