Godela develops AI models that learn the laws of physics from simulation data to predict system behavior with solver-level accuracy in seconds. The platform serves engineers and designers across thermal, aerodynamic, magnetic, and structural domains by enabling physics-based design optimization without traditional simulation tools.

Alumni Q&A
- What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
- The founders note that engineering relies on simulations and physical testing, which are slow, costly, and fragmented: a single simulation can take hours to days, prototypes take weeks to months, and each domain requires separate solvers and experts. They are building AI that converts engineering questions into physics-based models without traditional solvers.
- What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
- The founders aim to build AI that understands physics rather than only text, allowing users to model, test, and explore ideas across physical domains and uncover relationships quickly.
