PreScalar

About

PreScalar builds test hardware and software for manufacturers. The PR Newswire release, datelined San Francisco on Oct 22, 2026, calls it the test and data platform for advanced manufacturing and says it was founded in 2025 by Skyler Salman, John Cathcart, and Ben Fredrickson. The company post says the founders started PreScalar in 2025 and does not state a city. The Raise Track Update says San Francisco, CA. Nothing read here names a different city, so this page stores San Francisco, California, and 2025.

The release is timestamped Oct 22, 2026, 09:00 ET (13:00 UTC). The company post did not show a calendar date when read on 2026-10-27. The round date is 2026-10-22. The release, the company post, and the issue say PreScalar raised $7 million in seed funding co-led by Dynamo Ventures and BMW i Ventures, with Blue Wire Capital, Uplift Ventures, and Antler. BMW i Ventures' post says the round was led by Dynamo Ventures and does not call itself a co-lead. This page follows the company release and the issue and marks both firms as leads.
