Congrats, @scottgmorton, and the entire Revel team!! It's such a pleasure to partner with you!

[Revel @RevelHQ]

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.
