Company mission
To make digital engineering ecosystems a reality where all technologies are created digitally, free from real-world costs, schedules, and environmental impacts.
Our take
Digital twins – virtual representations of objects or systems that span their whole lifecycles, and are updated from real-time data – allow for simulations and performance reviews of physical objects to be run effectively in the digital world. This reduces the cost, environmental impact, and waste associated with testing projects in the real world.
Istari is a company “building the engineering metaverse”, with its advanced but simple-to-implement digital twin technology. Currently in development, with an open waiting list for early access, its platform will enable teams to design, test, and learn faster – coming to informed decisions much quicker than with physical test environments.
Emerging from stealth in early 2023, with impressive funding to boot, it can be assumed that the company is focussed on pushing forward with product development. Its ultimate aim is to revolutionize the field of digital engineering, to a point where all technology is created, tested, and even certified through modelling and simulation.

Company values
- Purposeful Autonomy: We self-motivate and self-organize. Our autonomy is measured, goal-oriented, and results-driven. Our flat structure and lack of meeting clutter empower individuals and teams to be proactive.
- Radical Transparency: We believe in honest-but-kind communication, transparency, and open-door policies. We love learning about challenges and tackling them early, not hearing good or bad news late.
- Continual Curiosity: We love learning to do things ourselves. When we make breakthroughs, we write them down. We ask, read, share, teach – even watch YouTube videos – to learn new skills to solve problems.
