We're a fast-moving team that owns problems end-to-end, works across disciplines, and thrives at the intersection of hardware and software.\nSome of the world’s leading technology investors, including Sequoia, Lightspeed, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, Lux Capital, and Insight Partners, are backing Nominal’s ambition to change how machines are built and operated.
