Company mission
To massively accelerate the development of all next-generation hardware globally - from fusion to rockets.
Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Engineering today is slow. Engineers waste time plugging equations into spreadsheets, rebuilding CAD models that break, and setting up simulations to test similar things over and over again - and this issue only gets worse as complexity is added. What Flow has done is rebuild the foundational tools that are used. The company developed powerful systems that automates the repetitive execution work, letting the computer do the heavy lifting.
Flow's product constitutes a single medium incorporating all the different tools that are needed to design, instead of engineers being forced to use unconnected and fragmented models. The idea is that the tools amplify and magnify engineers' creative abilities, instead of getting in the way.
Furthermore, Flow's product allows for easy collaboration and editing. Changes propagate throughout the entire system instantly, automatically rebuilding models, making the work for the engineers both more efficient and more effective.
As well as streamlining the process for engineers, Flow's product will drastically lower barriers to entry into the engineering and design world.

Flow has a very flat structure, meaning communication and support flow freely across the organisation. Everyone is driven by the company vision, which means everyone is open and honest about where we can do better and where we are succeeding. Our current size allows every single employee to join our weekly retro together, from interns all the way up to the CEO.

Flow has the potential to be both a generation and industry-defining company. Physical engineering exists all around us and influences every experience we have as humans. Flow will be the biggest impact on this industry since Computer Aided Design (CAD) replaced hand-produced part drawings.

There cannot be many companies where the majority of people that work there joined purely because of the mission. We are one of these few. Many of the challenges that society will face over the coming years will require a hardware solution and we are here to make a huge splash and give engineers the superpowers to tackle them!
