About camfer

Camfer is an applied research lab focused on enabling engineers to use natural language to perform CAD tasks end-to-end. The company develops AI agents that autonomously design systems, source off-the-shelf parts, and generate manufacturing drawings. Camfer has gained early recognition, winning Y Combinator's internal demo day and OpenAI's o1 hackathon, and completed Y Combinator in October with a $4.8M seed round. It is backed by investors including Y Combinator, Next47, Bloomberg Beta, Octave Fund, and the founders of Dropbox, Airtable, and Clari, and operates with a small, young team of software developers and researchers in San Francisco. Founders bring backgrounds as FRC world champions, UC Berkeley alumni/researchers, and former roles at AWS and Meta, with pilot users at Physical Intelligence using its v0.
