About
Zelos Cloud builds a collaborative data platform for engineering teams that develop and operate hardware systems, bringing telemetry, logs, recorded runs, test results, and team context into one workspace. Its differentiation is an integrated data-collection, processing, and visualization pipeline spanning prototype through production, intended to reduce silos between engineering, operations, and quality teams.
Market
Zelos competes in the hardware-systems data, observability, test, and control market for mission-critical physical systems, spanning embedded development, validation, and production operations. Its positioning is a single collaborative platform that combines data collection, processing, visualization, testing, and control across the hardware lifecycle, rather than requiring separate telemetry viewers, test systems, scripts, and team tools. Sift is the closest telemetry-and-test analogue, while Memfault focuses on embedded-device observability, LabVIEW on engineering test and measurement, and CANoe on distributed-system SIL/HIL testing; Zelos differentiates by combining these workflow elements with protocol integrations, SDKs, an agent, shared workspaces, and private-by-default data handling.
Zelos targets engineering organizations building and operating mission-critical or otherwise demanding hardware, including embedded/software engineers, validation and test teams, and DevOps or operations groups working from prototype through production. The sources do not specify a company-size band; the buyer profile is primarily technical leaders and engineering teams at hardware companies rather than a particular vertical or scale.
At a Glance
Problem
Zelos Cloud addresses the operational mess facing teams that build mission-critical hardware systems: fragmented tools that do not communicate, manual correlation across data sources, missing context when failures occur in the field, and slow iteration when engineers have limited access to hardware. The economic pain is wasted engineering time and delayed validation, release, and troubleshooting cycles. The clearest high-value use case is capturing a failing hardware-software run, then replaying and analyzing it at a desk instead of trying to reproduce the failure on scarce or deployed hardware.
Product / Service
Zelos is a hardware-data platform combining a cross-platform app, SDKs, and an agent. Engineers instrument code with lightweight SDK calls, stream data to a local or remote agent, view live signals or recorded traces in the app, and share those traces and layouts with teammates. It supports Python, Rust, and Go, and connects to hardware protocols including CAN, Modbus, OPC UA, EtherCAT, and serial. The app provides a shared workspace for monitoring, analysis, control, and testing across the lifecycle from prototype to production.
The benefit is a single, collaborative system view rather than a collection of bespoke scripts, dashboards, and disconnected test tools. Every run can become a replayable trace, enabling precise investigation of field failures and automated pass/fail checks. Zelos offers a free desktop download for macOS, Windows, and Linux, alongside a demo-led path for teams; its documentation also describes local or remote data agents and private-by-default handling of operational data.
Market
Zelos competes in the specialized hardware telemetry, observability, test-data, and industrial/IoT development-tools market, rather than in generic application monitoring alone. Its most direct visible competitor is Sift, which similarly markets unified observability for mission-critical hardware and robotics telemetry; Foxglove is an adjacent competitor in multimodal robotics data collection and analysis. Legacy scripts, siloed dashboards, and point tools for hardware testing are important substitutes because Zelos’s stated value proposition is to replace that fragmented workflow.
The company is not pre-revenue according to the available third-party data, although the figures are estimates rather than company disclosures. Zelos Cloud was founded in 2023, is a Summer 2023 Y Combinator company, and is listed as active; LinkedIn and Extruct report a $500,000 pre-seed round, while GetLatka estimates approximately $440,000 of 2025 revenue. Public evidence identifies no customer count or named customer, so the strongest verifiable traction signal is an active product with public SDKs, documentation, funding, and estimated early revenue rather than demonstrated scale.

Zelos distributes its macOS, Windows, and Linux application for free. Its request-demo workflow and reported 2025 revenue indicate monetization through commercial collaborative cloud or team deployments, although the available evidence does not disclose specific paid tiers or pricing.
