Summary

The company intends to use the funds to scale key aspects of its business, including ramping up sales and marketing and accelerating the development of its cloud-native optimization engine. Led by CEO Gary Brotman, Secondmind provides an optimization engine for the software-defined vehicle. From reducing design simulation time and calibration overhead, to continuously improving energy efficiency and performance throughout the vehicle lifecycle, its cloud-native optimization solutions give engineers the tools to re-imagine the design, development and experience of driving, and accelerate the transition to carbon-neutral mobility. The investment from Mazda is part of a long-standing strategic partnership between the two companies to drive AI-fueled innovations that address the engineering complexity in automotive design and development. The extended partnership centers around R&D and the commercial deployment of solutions that support systems engineering and validation processes, with the goal of unlocking time and cost efficiencies through increased virtualization in design and development, and a focus on strategic applications with high complexity barriers to overcome.
