Entangl is automating engineering design. Starting with datacenter design, our AI agent automatically detects errors while engineering teams work. For each error detected, Entangl suggests a detailed step-by-step solution.

20,000 datacenters are being built every year, making this a massive market.

We are also actively training our next AI agent that can autonomously implement solutions (think code completion but for hardware engineering).

### Automating hardware design end-to-end without errors

Entangl is automating engineering design. Starting with datacenter design, our AI agent automatically detects errors while engineering teams work. For each error detected, Entangl suggests a detailed step-by-step solution. 20,000 datacenters are being built every year, making this a massive market. We are also actively training our next AI agent that can autonomously implement solutions (think code completion but for hardware engineering).

### Shapol M, Founder

Co-founder & CEO at Entangl. Previously co-founded and led the Karman Space Programme, launching one of the most powerful British reusable rockets and growing it into Europe's best-sponsored program. MEng in Aeronautical Engineering from Imperial College London.



### Antanas Zilinskas, Founder

Co-founder and CTO at Entangl. Previously led the engineering of a 25km reusable student rocket. Also co-founded an AI research lab at university focusing on humanoids, as well as trajectory predictions and flight readiness monitoring for rockets. Research experience at Tokyo Tech, simulating aerotrains using ANNs.



### Company Launches

[### Entangl - Automating engineering design 🚀](

**tl;dr:** We automate the detection of design errors in engineering projects and suggest solutions autonomously—saving time, money, and, potentially, lives.

—

Hey folks, [Shapol]( and [Antanas]( here. We used to lead a reusable rocket program and oversaw the launch of four missions. We hated engineering design software so much that we created our own — which is why we’re here today :)

**🧨 The Problem: Design errors get caught too late, resulting in delays or dangerous outcomes.**

Organizations carry out design reviews every few weeks/months to ensure they catch errors early. As aerospace engineers, we've experienced firsthand the painful reality of cross-team design reviews. Teams grind for weeks to prepare for these meetings, yet costly errors still slip through to manufacturing or even operation (think doors blowing off planes).

The issue? Engineers work in silos, unaware of how their decisions impact the broader system. For example, changing the O-ring material might unexpectedly impact the seal integrity at low temperatures when building a space shuttle booster rocket (see NASA Space Shuttle Disaster below ⬇️).



🎉 **The Solution:** **Autonomously detecting errors across an organization.**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Humans are terrible at dealing with large amounts of data and understanding how everything interacts with one another. Machines, on the other hand, are great! They can crawl across all the knowledge bases (GitHub, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.) and detect changes as they are made.

Our platform identifies design problems autonomously across engineering projects. It then suggests targeted solutions to the right engineers and delivers daily insights and reviews, preventing expensive problems early on (poor engineering cost Boeing $100B+). This saves each engineer two months of work every year and makes engineering safer.



💲**Opportunity: Safer and quicker engineering**
------------------------------------------------

Engineers don’t need to spend two months a year grinding for design reviews. Your engineering projects don’t need to be delayed by an average of seven months. Prevent errors early to move faster and save your company’s runway.

### Hear from the founders

#### How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)

We met whilst designing & launching rockets. Whilst doing that, we realised that we could automate a lot of our engineering design work with graph neural networks and transformer models. \\Then we wondered if we could develop an AI system that can design any mechanical system (i.e. a car, rocket, etc). So, we started Entangl. We are creating an the smartest engineer ever!

#### What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?

We are creating an AI system that can design anything. Ambitious engineering projects—like space colonies and humanoid robots—haven't materialized yet. It's not due to a lack of money but because it's extremely difficult to assemble enough talented people to work together on them. Our aim is to transform this from being limited by human resources to something that is limited by computing power.
