Dryft builds intelligent systems that automate complex human decisions in manufacturing operations
We’re a small, talent-dense team with modest roots and a love for the physical world - cars, machines, planes. Our team includes graduates from Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, TUM, winners of Stanford TreeHacks, and builders of everything from robots and race cars to software with millions of downloads.
We’re backed by the founders and leaders behind Amazon, Facebook, Stripe, Applied Intuition, & others; General Catalyst & Neo, and board members of global industrial companies.
We’re a no-bullshit, direct-feedback kind of team. People come to Dryft because they want to grow fast, with real responsibility.
