Cadstrom, a Montreal, Canada-based AI expert system that enables electrical engineers to design electronic devices correctly on the first try, raised $6.8M in Seed funding.
The round was led by Bison Ventures with participation from Innovation Endeavors and AI2 Incubator, which previously invested $650K in a pre-Seed round.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the development of its AI-driven verification tools, and expand its design and partner testing program, which currently includes several product development and design consulting agencies in the United States.
Founded in 2023 by Margot Blouin and Scott Bright, Cadstrom builds AI tools enabling electrical engineers to create devices that work correctly on their first attempt. Core to Cadstrom’s approach is its proprietary Sigma Engine, which leverages a first-principles understanding of physics, electronics, and generative AI to identify mistakes while automatically validating complex designs—cutting development costs, accelerating GTM timeline, and shortening design cycles by eliminating respins.
