When engineers built , the , and the , test was just a phase. Design → build → test → certify → ship. Launches were rare. Timelines spanned decades.
Now, hardware evolves as fast as software. Hypersonics. Autonomous fleets. Modular reactors. Systems that adapt mid-mission and update in the field.
But the test stack never caught up.
Most teams still rely on tools built for slower cycles — scripts, spreadsheets, and lab systems that assume test happens once, not continuously.
The cost of slow testing isn't theoretical. We're seeing it every day: grounded fleets, slipped missions, progress on pause.
The test stack that time forgot

Test velocity is the competitive edge in modern hardware.
Nominal delivers that edge. We equip engineers to turn potential energy into kinetic energy by testing continuously, iterating faster, and shipping hardware that performs in the field.
Two products power the stack today:
- — a secure cloud platform for managing, monitoring, and analyzing high-rate hardware data
- — an edge platform for automating operations, building hardware-in-the-loop apps, and syncing live systems
Engineers deserve a modern test stack.
Progress depends on it. National security demands it.
We raised $75M to deliver it.
