Founder/CEO Stefan Seltz-Axmacher previously co-founded on-road autonomy firm Starsky Robotics; the product provides path planning, navigation and obstacle detection via a REST API plus a simulation tool (Caladan). It remains small and lightly funded (YC seed, ~$500K disclosed, ~$1.7M est ARR), with no verified dated 2025-26 funding round, major contract, or scaled deployment — the open question is whether its defense/off-highway pivot converts into revenue-scale traction.","sub_category":"Motion planning & control","signals_total":0,"url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/polymath","title":"Polymath · robotics, United States · scores, facts and signals · Frontier Tech Intelligence","description":"Polymath builds plug-and-play autonomy software for industrial vehicles, with simulation for prototyping, testing and deploying robots.
