There are always these Friday news stories that sneak up on me. But I’m happy to share that Tigard-based Rapta — which is using AI to revolutionize precision manufacturing — has announced a $2.7 million Seed round with local funds Portland Seed Fund and Roadster Capital participating.
Rapta is revolutionizing precision manufacturing for Fortune 1000 corporations, from defense primes to medical device leaders across the US. By connecting siloed processes across engineering, production, and quality, Rapta creates a unified feedback loop that accelerates decision-making, enhances certification traceability and eliminates costly errors. With major defense primes expanding their factory footprints across Florida, Rapta’s growing presence in the Space Coast region positions it strategically to support emerging production and quality needs.
“As an early investor, Portland Seed Fund has been particularly impressed with Rapta’s team’s ability to gain traction among the defense industry’s most influential corporations,” said Angela Jackson, Managing Director. “We are excited to play in this lucrative space with a seasoned team leading the way.”
