A gap exists in the market. It is growing.
Modern aircraft, autonomous vehicles, and industrial systems depend on increasingly complex electronics. Ensuring these systems behave safely under every failure condition is one of the hardest engineering problems today.
A critical step in making these systems possible still runs on outdated principles. Engineers calculate key safety metrics in spreadsheets, manually tracing failure behaviour in highly complex systems.
Complexity is increasing exponentially. Safety analysis is becoming the bottleneck. Existing tools cannot keep up. The consequences are already visible: faltering margins, recalls, and stalled innovation.
Modelwise built the first mathematically complete platform for automated safety analysis. Engineering teams can now analyse complex systems faster, earlier, and with more rigor.
We work with leading companies across automotive, aerospace, and industrial engineering. Automated safety analysis is already starting to take hold.
We expect it to become the standard for developing safety-critical hardware.
We intend to set that standard.

About us
Modern aircraft, industrial systems, and autonomous vehicles depend on complex electronics behaving safely under failure.
Ensuring that happens is one of the hardest problems in engineering.
Yet much of safety analysis is still slow, manual, and difficult to scale- Modelwise is changing that.
We have developed the first mathematically complete platform for automated safety analysis, enabling engineers to analyse complex systems faster, earlier, and with far greater confidence.
Our mission is simple: make safety analysis as advanced as the systems it protects.
Modelwise is a spinout of the TUM between Munich and Silicon Valley.
We work with some of the most advanced engineering organizations in the world to help build safer hardware faster.
If you want to solve hard engineering problems and help change how safety-critical systems are developed, we should talk.
