About Artifact
Summary
Artifact builds a collaborative, version-controlled ECAD tool for electrical system design on complex hardware programs. Hardware engineering teams use it to design wiring harnesses, trace signals across subsystems, and auto-generate harness drawings, pin-tables, and bills of materials from a single source of truth. It replaces fragmented spreadsheets and tribal knowledge handoffs across design, procurement, and manufacturing teams working on aerospace, defense, and other technically demanding systems.
Go-to-market
Artifact sells to B2B hardware engineering teams, including aerospace and defense organizations, with access granted on a request basis and ITAR- and CUI-compliant deployment options for government customers.

An Collaborative, AI-native IDE for Hardware Engineers
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.

Score every batch against your own thesis
GPAgent's sourcing agent reads every company in a batch, scores each one against your fund's thesis in a private workspace, and lines up the founders worth meeting before Demo Day. You decide who to contact. Your scores, notes, and pipeline never appear on these pages.
