CEO Katherine Playfair (Stanford GSB, ex-McKinsey) previously led Intermix, a Cornell spinout developing polymers to upcycle contaminated plastics. The former D1 Harvard champion rower (“KPlay” to teammates) brings grit and operating range to scaling frontier engineering ventures.

CTO Brandon Abranovic, PhD (Carnegie Mellon MechE) built ML systems for anomaly detection and risk reduction at Eric Schmidt-backed Relativity Space. At Autodesk, he worked on CAD design. He’s a trilingual author with 6 publications.

Polymath is building an AI-native CAD engine with autocomplete, prompts, and real-time validation. Unlike legacy tools that are manual, error-prone, and expert-heavy, Polymath acts as a copilot that expands and accelerates what engineering teams can design.

With early backing from Xfund, Omni, and more, the team is reshaping manufacturable design. They’re already launching F100 pilots, and now hiring a founding engineer.
