First Resonance snags $14M for an operating system designed for factories
/First Resonance, a factory operating system for manufacturing customers, today announced that it raised $14 million in a series A round led by Craft Ventures with participation from Blue Bear Capital, Fika Ventures, Stage VP, Wavemaker, Village Global, Garuda Ventures, PLG, and Frontier. The company says that the proceeds will be put toward expanding First Resonance’s headcount and growing its customer base as it further develops its platform.
Today’s factories have evolved to the point where manufacturers test R&D alongside production workflows. That’s the assertion of First Resonance CEO Karan Talati, who cofounded the Los Angeles, California-based software company with Neal Sarraf in 2018. Talati was previously a manufacturing and software engineer at SpaceX, where he helped build a dynamics analysis module and introduced a company-wide barcode system.
