Hestus builds AI-powered CAD software that speeds up hardware development for engineers.
Hestus targets the repetitive, manual and error-prone CAD work that keeps mechanical engineers from creative design and can make hardware mistakes costly. Its $1.5 million seed round, led by Liquid2 and Rock Yard Ventures, backs an engineer-in-the-loop copilot that claims 2.5x faster sketching and 4x fewer clicks while aiming to expand into 3D assemblies and manufacturability.
