In partnership with PSL's corporate innovation studio, [Fortive](/content/feed-posts/fortive-psl-the-power-of-partnership-for-corporate-innovation/index.html), PSL and founder [David Sulpy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidsulpy/) spent months testing and validating [Glue](https://gluestudio.com/). Could AI and technology radically accelerate the development, optimization, and testing of complex hardware systems? The customers we spoke to unanimously highlighted this pain point, and PSL engineers demonstrated massive efficiencies through their proof of concept. Who better to lead this company than David, who most recently spearheaded this effort at Tektronix as the VP/GM of Test Automation and Software Solutions? We launched the company with a working product and early design partners. Glue Studio has raised seed funding, led by Fortive, and has already proven to be highly 'sticky' with its early customers.
