Today we announced our $150M Series B led by @IndexVentures with major participation from @Redpoint and returning investors including @ThriveCapital, @Felicis, and @AbstractVC. Across aerospace, energy, and manufacturing, engineering teams are pushing what’s possible. The software behind many of these systems hasn’t kept up. Revel gives engineering teams the infrastructure to test and control complex hardware systems with speed and confidence. In just over a year, we’ve built a world-class team, converted every pilot into a customer, and are now expanding the platform across new industries. If you believe great hardware deserves great software, we’re hiring across the board.

How @elonmusk drives engineers to build breakthrough technology at extreme speed: “On the first orbital flight of Starship, we had this maneuver to separate the booster from the ship called the ‘Twig Snap.’” “It was a very non-efficient way to do it.” “For the next flight, he was like, ‘We’re going to do hot staging.’” “I wasn’t in this Elon meeting but I saw everyone walk out and they were all like, ‘Oh my God, how are we going to do this?’” “That week, CAD screenshots started getting shot around.” “They ended up inventing out of nowhere a new stage that would sit between the booster and the ship called the Hot Stage that would take the blast and then get ejected on reentry for booster, and it worked. First shot.” — @Revel_Software CEO @scottgmorton

Companies working on turbine engine systems and other hardware test applications are eager for next-generation tools that can accelerate how fast they stand up test and maintenance systems. Our team spent last week in Orlando at MRO Americas, the world's largest aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul event, where we showed test and maintenance teams how Revel helps them move faster than ever. #GreatHardwareDeservesGreatSoftware #MROAmericas #MROAmericas2026

@AstroMechanica is advancing engines, airframes, and systems for a new age of aerospace. As they developed and tested next-generation engine systems, their team relied on a homegrown control platform, one that required specialized knowledge to operate and maintain, and created a dependency on a small number of people. As a result, even simple changes or test iterations often meant waiting on the few engineers closest to the system, slowing down progress for a fast-moving team. Revel replaced parts of that system and had the engine test stand up and running within just one day, integrating directly with their existing environment. “Revel came in, got us up and running quickly, and made it much easier for our operators to own the test stand directly. It gave us a faster, more intuitive way to iterate without relying on homegrown tooling. As we scale, we’re excited to expand our use of Revel to accelerate our testing and development.” — Matthew Perkins, VP of Engineering, Astro Mechanica Read the full case study to learn more about how Revel helped @AstroMechanica move at the pace of their hardware program and remove friction from their testing and control workflows. revel.io/newsroom/astro…

RevelCode is the intuitive programming language built for engineers and operators alike, designing out common mistakes from the ground up so your control logic is inherently failsafe.

Take a listen to our founder @scottgmorton on @sourceryy with @MollySOShea, where he shares what he learned from @elonmusk during his time at @SpaceX. Check out the full episode: open.spotify.com/episode/6iNSSX…

We’re at #SatShow in DC this week! Stop by booth #1517 for a live demo and see how Revel helps engineering teams move faster across hardware development, testing, and control. @SATELLITEDC

Our founder @scottgmorton joined @tbpn and shared more on why control software hasn't evolved since the 80s, and how Revel is building a state-of-the-art platform to accelerate our customers' pace of innovation. If you want to build the future of software for hardware, join us → revel.io/careers

@Revel_Software Revel was absolutely INSTRUMENTAL in this test! 10/10!!!

Congratulations to our customer @AaloAtomics on standing up their sodium test loop. We're proud to have supported this meaningful milestone in the advancement of nuclear energy. Watch their video below to see Revel in action during the test.

Year one at Revel, by the numbers: 18 people, dozens of deployments, 5× faster time to market. Modernization has become a key priority for traditional companies in aerospace, energy, and automotive. These companies can't afford six-month test cycles or they face disruption. Teams need to iterate in days, hours and minutes, not quarters. That's why we're building Revel. Read more below. ⚡️

Revel has arrived and is empowering hardware teams to build faster, operate safer, and deliver sooner. We've raised $30M to revolutionize software for controlling critical hardware - accelerating advancement across aerospace, auto, energy, and beyond. Great hardware deserves great software.

To those in the arena building the future...

Emerging from stealth with $30 million to prevent your critical hardware from exploding—literally. @FortuneMagazine @thetermsheet @agarfinks fortune.com/2025/04/17/exc…
