Why the Funding Matters

PreScalar plans to use the funding to expand its R&D and manufacturing capabilities, hire more team members, and deploy its solution in additional production environments.

Manufacturers often rely on legacy testing equipment, disconnected engineering tools, or internally developed systems to manage software and testing on factory floors. PreScalar aims to bring these processes together through a unified platform.

Who founded PreScalar?

PreScalar was founded in 2025 by Skyler Salman, John Cathcart, and Benjamin Fredrickson. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

The founding team includes experience from companies such as Cruise, Waymo, Rivian, Google, and Lucid.

"Hardware has fundamentally changed, but the way we manufacture it hasn't kept up," said Skyler Salman, co-founder and CEO of PreScalar. "We built PreScalar because we lived this problem ourselves. This funding allows us to bring infrastructure once reserved for the most sophisticated engineering teams to manufacturers at scale, giving them a better way to test, deploy software, and understand every device moving through production."

"The most sophisticated hardware companies have spent years and enormous resources building this infrastructure themselves. Everyone else has been left stitching together legacy tools or building from scratch," said Santosh Sankar, Managing Partner at Dynamo Ventures.

Market and Business Growth

PreScalar is working with manufacturers ranging from high-growth technology companies to large global manufacturers. Its platform helps them automate production testing and reduce the time and complexity involved in deploying software on factory floors.

The company is targeting industries where hardware products increasingly depend on software, including automotive, robotics, consumer electronics, autonomous vehicles, and defense.

What Happens Next?

PreScalar plans to expand its R&D and manufacturing capabilities, grow its team, and bring its testing and data platform to more production environments.

The company will continue developing infrastructure that helps manufacturers manage firmware, automate testing, and collect production data as their products become more software-dependent.
