Zida za Hardware zingakhaledi zovuta, koma kuyambitsa komwe kunamanga nsanja kungathandize kuthetsa lingaliro ili popangitsa kuti hardware ikhale yosavuta kupanga, kulengeza ndalama zambiri kuti apitirize kumanga nsanja yake.
Fictiv imadziyika yokha ngati "AWS ya hardware" - nsanja kwa iwo omwe amafunikira kupanga zida zina, malo oti apange, mtengo ndi kuyitanitsa zigawozo ndikuzitumiza kuchokera kumalo ena kupita kwina - $ 35 miliyoni akwezedwa.
Fictiv adzagwiritsa ntchito ndalamazi kuti apitilize kupanga nsanja yake komanso njira zoperekera zinthu zomwe zimathandizira bizinesi yake, yomwe oyambitsawo amafotokoza kuti ndi "dongosolo lopanga digito."
Mtsogoleri wamkulu komanso woyambitsa Dave Evans adati zomwe kampaniyo ikuyang'ana sizinali zopangidwa ndi anthu ambiri, koma ma prototypes ndi zinthu zina zomwe zimagulitsidwa pamsika, monga zida zapadera zachipatala.
"Tikuyang'ana kwambiri pa 1,000 mpaka 10,000," adatero poyankhulana, ponena kuti ndizovuta zaulimi chifukwa ntchito zamtunduwu siziwona chuma chambiri, koma chachikulu kwambiri chomwe sichingaganizidwe kuti ndi chaching'ono komanso chotsika mtengo."Apa ndipamene zinthu zambiri zimafabe."
Ndalama zoyendetsera ntchitoyi - Series D - zidachokera kwa osunga ndalama komanso azachuma. Imatsogozedwa ndi 40 North Ventures komanso ikuphatikiza Honeywell, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Adit Ventures, M2O, ndi othandizira am'mbuyomu Accel, G2VP ndi Bill Gates.

Ngakhale mliriwu usanachitike, "sitinkadziwa zomwe zidzachitike pankhondo yamalonda pakati pa US ndi China," adatero. Mwadzidzidzi, mayendedwe aku China "adagwa ndipo zonse zidatsekedwa" chifukwa cha mikangano yamitengo iyi.
Yankho la Fictiv linali kusuntha zopanga kumadera ena aku Asia, monga India ndi US, zomwe zidathandizira kampaniyo pomwe funde loyamba la COVID-19 lidagunda China.
Kenako panabuka mliri wapadziko lonse lapansi, ndipo Fictiv adapezeka kuti akusinthanso pomwe mafakitale m'maiko otsegulidwa posachedwa adatsekedwa.
Kenako, nkhawa zamalonda zitakhazikika, Fictiv adayambiranso ubale ndi ntchito ku China, zomwe zinali ndi COVID m'masiku oyambilira, kuti apitirize kugwira ntchito kumeneko.
Zodziwika koyambirira pomanga ma prototypes amakampani aukadaulo ozungulira Bay Area, kuyambika kumapanga VR ndi zida zina, zomwe zimapereka ntchito kuphatikiza jekeseni, makina a CNC, kusindikiza kwa 3D, ndi kupanga urethane, mapangidwe apulogalamu ndi maoda amtambo, zomwe kenako zimatumizidwa ndi Fictiv kupita ku fakitale yoyenera kuzipanga.
Masiku ano, pomwe bizinesi ikukulirakulira, Fictiv ikugwiranso ntchito ndi mabungwe akuluakulu apadziko lonse lapansi kuti apange zopangira zazing'ono zomwe zili zatsopano kapena zomwe sizingasinthidwe bwino pazomera zomwe zilipo.
Ntchito yomwe imagwira kwa Honeywell, mwachitsanzo, imakhala ndi zida zambiri zamagawo ake amlengalenga. Zida zamankhwala ndi ma robotiki ndi madera ena awiri akuluakulu omwe kampani ili nawo pakadali pano, idatero.
Fictiv si kampani yokhayo yomwe ikuyang'ana mwayi umenewu. Misika ina yokhazikitsidwa imatha kupikisana mwachindunji ndi yomwe inakhazikitsidwa ndi Fictiv, kapena imayang'ana mbali zina zamalonda, monga msika wamakono, kapena msika kumene mafakitale amalumikizana ndi opanga, kapena opanga zinthu, kuphatikiza Geomiq ku England, Carbon (yomwe ikupezanso 40 Kumpoto), Fathom ya Auckland, Kreatize yaku Germany, Plethora (yothandizidwa ndi GV ndi Founders Fund), ndi Xometry (yomwe idakwezanso gulu lalikulu posachedwa).
Evans ndi omwe amawagulitsa amakhala osamala kuti asafotokoze zomwe akuchita ngati ukadaulo wapadera wamafakitale kuti ayang'ane pamipata yayikulu yomwe kusintha kwa digito kumabweretsa, komanso, kuthekera kwa nsanja yomwe Fictiv imamanga.za ntchito zosiyanasiyana.
"Tekinoloje yamafakitale ndi yolakwika.Ndikuganiza kuti ndikusintha kwa digito, SaaS yokhala ndi mitambo komanso luntha lochita kupanga, "atero a Marianne Wu, woyang'anira wamkulu ku 40 North Ventures."
Lingaliro la Fictiv ndikuti potenga kasamalidwe kazinthu zopangira zida zamabizinesi, zitha kugwiritsa ntchito nsanja yake kupanga zida mkati mwa sabata, njira yomwe m'mbuyomu ingatenge miyezi itatu, zomwe zitha kutanthauza kutsika kwamitengo komanso magwiridwe antchito apamwamba.
Komabe, pali ntchito yambiri yoti ichitike.Chomwe chimamamatira kwambiri popanga ndi mpweya womwe umapanga popanga, komanso zinthu zomwe zimapanga.
Izi zitha kukhala vuto lalikulu ngati olamulira a Biden akwaniritsa malonjezo ake ochepetsa mpweya ndikudalira kwambiri makampani kuti akwaniritse zolingazo.
Evans akudziwa bwino za vutoli ndipo amavomereza kuti kupanga kungakhale imodzi mwa mafakitale ovuta kwambiri kusintha.
"Kukhazikika ndi kupanga sikufanana," akuvomereza. Ngakhale kuti chitukuko cha zipangizo ndi kupanga chidzatenga nthawi yaitali, adanena kuti tsopano cholinga chake ndi momwe angagwiritsire ntchito ndondomeko zabwino zachinsinsi komanso zapagulu komanso za carbon. carbon credits, ndipo Fictiv adayambitsa chida chake kuti ayese izi.
"Nthawi yakwana yoti kukhazikika kusokonezedwe ndipo tikufuna kukhala ndi njira yoyamba yotumizira kaboni yopanda ndale kuti tipatse makasitomala njira zabwinoko zokhazikika.Makampani ngati athu ali pamapewa kutsogolera ntchito imeneyi.”
