What it does

Launched September 1, 2026 by Matt Pines (CEO), Alex Klokus and Alexander Wissner-Gross with a $58M seed led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures. Its Emmy platform is a team of virtual physicists over a reasoning engine and a large library of simulations: it builds world models of a physical system, splits a research problem into verifiable hypotheses and tests them in parallel. The first commercial target is the multiphysics design of AI data centers, on the ground and in orbit.
