KENT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stoke Space, the company building the world's first fully and rapidly reusable rockets, today announced that its cloud-based hardware engineering platform, previously known as Fusion, is now Boltline. The rebrand reflects Boltline's position as the only purpose-built, end-to-end, cloud-based engineering toolset designed to streamline hardware development from design to end-of-life. Alongside the rebrand, Stoke Space reported strong growth, with Boltline achieving 2x revenue in the first six months of the current fiscal year, driven by adoption across industries.
If your part fails, the hardware fails. If your part can't be made, the part is late. If the factory doesn't have throughput, you are late. If your vendor is late, you are late. If you are late, the company is late.
The company also disclosed a previously closed investment from Woven Capital, Toyota's growth-stage corporate venture fund, finalized in December 2024. This funding is accelerating Boltline's product development and commercial expansion, empowering hardware teams to build faster and with greater confidence.
'Boltline solves a fundamental challenge for hardware teams: moving fast without sacrificing quality,' said Michiko Kato, Partner at Woven Capital. 'We're excited by its potential to reimagine the hardware development process, accelerating workflows while preserving traceability. With full visibility from cradle to grave, Boltline brings tremendous value to teams navigating complex hardware development cycles. We're proud to back Stoke Space and support Boltline as it scales a solution that empowers faster, smarter, and more transparent hardware development.'
Born from Friction, Built for Builders
Born from the need to revolutionize hardware development, Boltline unifies complex processes into a single, powerful platform, slashing costs and accelerating innovation across industries.
'Stoke didn't set out to build software. We set out to build hardware, and the tools got in our way,' said Brent Bradbury, Head of Business at Boltline. 'While we were still in early prototyping, it became clear we needed a unified system to manage engineering and production, one that offered traceability, repeatability, and audit readiness. Boltline's 2x revenue growth this fiscal year shows it's meeting a critical need for teams beyond aerospace.'
Boltline is now adopted across industries where hardware complexity meets execution urgency, including aerospace, defense, climate tech, biotech, and advanced manufacturing.
'We saw in Boltline a kindred spirit of high-cadence engineering that is challenging the boundaries of what's possible in space,' said Jack '2fish' Fischer, SVP of Production and Operations at Intuitive Machines. 'Boltline answered our needs with its collaborative capabilities and clear digital thread.'
'Boltline is essential for our work,' added Alisha Fredriksson, cofounder and CEO at Seabound. 'It brings clarity to the complexity of hardware development, helping us move faster and with confidence.'
One Platform, All the Way from Design to Deployment
Hardware teams often juggle up to eight disconnected tools, from spreadsheets to legacy MES systems, leading to inefficiencies and costly errors. Boltline replaces these with a single, cloud-based platform spanning the entire hardware lifecycle, from design through build, test, production, and beyond.
Key capabilities include:
Parts Library: Manage part references, relationships, and assemblies with engineering BOMs (eBOMs) and integrations with existing PLM systems.
Inventory & Locations: Full traceability of every part and its location using QR codes and augmented BOMs (aBOMs).
Work Plans: App-like procedures with checklists, sketches, instructions, and automated actions.
Orders: A modern order management system linking inventory, purchase orders, retail orders, and approvals, integrated with ERP systems.
Workflows: No-code automations that scale processes across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain.
Scaling for the Future of Hardware
With Woven Capital's backing and Boltline's impressive 2x revenue growth, Boltline is expanding its product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to meet the growing demand for unified hardware development solutions.
'What started inside a rocket company is now transforming industries,' said Bradbury. 'Boltline's revenue growth this fiscal year proves it's addressing an urgent need for smarter, faster hardware development, and we're scaling to meet that demand.'
