Nullspace Inc., co-founded by Dr. Masha Petrova (CEO) and Dr. Daniel Faircloth (CTO), has raised $2.5 million in seed funding, led by Fathom Fund, with strategic participation from Golden Seeds and technology-focused angel investors. This capital will propel development of Nullspace’s next-generation electromagnetic (EM) simulation platform - designed to deliver fast, accurate solutions for mission-critical radio frequency (RF) and quantum hardware applications.

Next-Gen EM Simulation Built for Real-World Engineering Scale

Nullspace is targeting a high-stakes niche: advanced EM design for aerospace, defense, communications, and quantum computing - sectors that demand full-fidelity accuracy at unprecedented scale and speed. The platform combines multi-CPU/GPU parallelism with robust solver architecture to simulate complex structures like antenna arrays and ion traps - achieving speeds up to 10× faster than competing tools.

Founders Who Mastered the Domain

The leadership at Nullspace is deeply rooted in simulation and engineering rigor. Dr. Faircloth brings years of DoD-validated EM algorithm experience, while Dr. Petrova combines modeling expertise with product and scaling acumen. Their collaboration embodies a rare blend of technical depth and startup discipline.

What founders can learn from Nullspace is this: in enterprise tools, credibility outlasts features. Nullspace didn’t just build a faster solver - they built trust through precision. When your product solves what's considered unsolvable - and does so deterministically - customers adopt not because it's faster, but because it's reliable.

This is the strategic insight: When your tool becomes the trusted backbone for mission-critical decisions, you aren’t selling a feature, you're becoming infrastructure. That’s when procurement shifts from “should we buy?” to “we can’t function without it.”

Trusted Partnerships Poised for Scale

More than capital, Nullspace brings heavyweight validation. With Fathom Fund on board and Dr. Paul Sheng joining the board, plus Dr. Nathan Kundtz (Rendered AI / Kymeta) as an independent director, the company is well-positioned to scale in regulated industries where auditability and traceability are non-negotiable. Golden Seeds’ participation also reinforces its mission to support women-led deep-tech ventures.

Strategic Timing: Markets Ready for Precision and Performance

Industries such as 5G, aerospace, and quantum hardware face exponential complexity, and traditional EM solvers are bottlenecks. Nullspace’s platform enables simulation of larger, electrically-complex systems without sacrificing speed or fidelity - eliminating prototyping bottlenecks and compressing development cycles.

The Road Ahead: Scaling Accuracy, Trust & Performance

With this new funding, Nullspace plans to:

• Expand engineering and product teams to accelerate feature delivery
  
• Deepen integration with aerospace, defense, and quantum hardware partners
  
• Continue building institutionalized trust through rigorous validation and transparent performance across industry benchmarks
  

Under the leadership of Dr. Petrova and Dr. Faircloth, Nullspace isn’t just creating a faster solver - it's creating the simulation foundation that secure, high-performance industries will build upon.
